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? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r .(1 point) Responses 7−2x=15 7 minus 2 x equals 15 2x−7=15 2 x minus 7 equals 15 2x+7=15 2 x plus 7 equals 15 15−7=2x

Answer 1

Let's set up the equation based on the information provided.

Let \( x \) be the number of games Annette's team played last season. According to the problem, 2 times the number of games played last season minus 7 gives the number of games they will play this season, which is 15.

This can be represented as:

\[ 2x - 7 = 15 \]

So, the correct equation is \( 2x - 7 = 15 \).

**Answer: 2x - 7 = 15**
