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? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r

1 answer

Let the number of games they played last season be represented by the variable x.

According to the problem, this season they will play 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season, which can be represented by the expression 2x - 7.

Therefore, the equation representing the problem is:
2x - 7 = 15
