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

1 answer

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

According to the problem, Annette's soccer team will play 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. So the number of games they will play this season is given by 2x - 7.

We are given that this number is equal to 15, so we can write the equation as:

2x - 7 = 15
