Andrea manages a company that currently has 116 customers, which is 8 more than twice the number of customers the company had 1 year ago. how many customers did the company have 1 year ago?

Company had 54 costumers 1 year ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of company's customers 1 year ago,

Since, currently, the customers are 8 more than twice the number of customers the company had 1 year ago,

So, the current number of costumers = 2x + 8,

According to the question,

2x + 8 = 116

Subtract 8 on both sides,

2x = 108

Divide both sides by 2

x = 54

Hence, company had 54 costumers 1 year ago.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
