Let \( x \) represent the number of games Annette's soccer team played last season.
According to the problem, 2 times the number of games played last season is \( 2x \). The team will play 15 games this season, which is 7 games fewer than twice the number of games played last season. This can be expressed with the equation:
\[ 2x - 7 = 15 \]
To represent this equation in the form \( px + q = r \):
- Rewrite the equation:
\( 2x - 7 = 15 \)
In this form, we have:
- \( p = 2 \)
- \( q = -7 \)
- \( r = 15 \)
So, the equation \( px + q = r \) is:
\[ 2x - 7 = 15 \]
