Question

Annette’s soccer team will play 15 games this season. That is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season? Which equation represents this problem?

Answer 1

Let the number of games Annette's soccer team played last season be represented by the variable 'x'.
According to the problem, 2 times the number of games they played last season is 2x.
Therefore, the number of games they will play this season is 2x - 7.
We know that they will play 15 games this season, so the equation representing this problem is:
2x - 7 = 15
