2x−7=15
2 x minus 7 equals 15

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

15−7=2x
15 minus 7 equals 2 x

7−2x=15
7 minus 2 x equals 15

Answer 1

Let \( x \) represent the number of games Annette's soccer team played last season. According to the problem, the team will play 15 games this season, which is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games played last season. We can express this relationship with the following equation:

\[ 2x - 7 = 15 \]

So, the correct representation of the problem in the form \( px + q = r \) is:

2x − 7 = 15
