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 15−7=2x 15 minus 7 equals 2 x 7−2x=15 7 minus 2 x equals 15 2x+7=15 2 x plus 7 equals 15 2x−7=15

Answer 1

Let x be the number of games they played last season.
2x - 7 represents 2 times the number of games they played last season, minus 7.
The equation is 2x - 7 = 15.
