Annette’s soccer team will play 15 games this season. That is seven games fewer than two times the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last? Represent this problem with an equation in the form px+q=r

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".
Two times the number of games they played last season is 2x.
Seven games fewer than two times the number of games they played last season is 2x - 7.
Annette's soccer team will play 15 games this season, so the equation representing this problem is 2x - 7 = 15.
