Answered by Steve
no. It says that

Maria scored 5 fewer points than Nelson

m = 2*12
m = n-5, so n = m+5 = 2*12+5

so, (a)

You would have e to do 12 times 2 plus 5, Since Marla had twice as Craig and 5 fewer than Nelson. You need to add 5 to find Nelson's number of points.

12 x 2 divided by 5= 4.8 fewer points

Your answer is A. If Craig has 12 and Marla has 2 times as much your answer would be 24, Now, you add 24 and 5 which is 29. 2 x 12 + 5= 29
