Question

There are two numbers. One number is twice the other number. The difference of the smaller number and half the larger number is 20. An equation created to find the smaller number will have A.one solotion B.no solotion C.infinitely many solotions

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the smallest number=x

largest number=y

y=2x

again x-1/2 y=20

or 2x-y=40

2x-2x=40

or 0=40

which is impossible.

∴ it has no solution.

Answer 2

it will have A. One solution
