The correct equation to represent the problem is 19x + 50 = 259.
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
The correct equation to represent the problem is 2x - 7 = 15.
Solve the following real-world problem: Destiny opens a checking account with $100 and then deposits $27 each week. How many weeks will it take for her account to reach $343? (1 point) Responses 12.7 weeks 12.7 weeks 3.16 weeks 3.16 weeks 16.4 weeks 16.4 weeks 9 weeks
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation.
Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for Destiny's account to reach $343.
We know that Destiny opens the account with $100 and deposits $27 each week. So, the equation would be:
100 + 27x = 343
To solve for x, we can subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 27:
x = 243/27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
Let x represent the number of weeks it takes for Destiny's account to reach $343.
We know that Destiny opens the account with $100 and deposits $27 each week. So, the equation would be:
100 + 27x = 343
To solve for x, we can subtract 100 from both sides of the equation:
27x = 343 - 100
27x = 243
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 27:
x = 243/27
x = 9
Therefore, it will take Destiny 9 weeks for her account to reach $343.
Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah’s basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 games more than 1/3 the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?(1 point) Responses 27 games 27 games 11 games 11 games 33 games 33 games 7 games
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation.
Let x represent the number of games they played last season.
We know that Ahmadullah's basketball team played 21 games this season, which is 12 games more than 1/3 the number of games they played last season.
So, the equation would be:
1/3 * x + 12 = 21
To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
1/3 * x = 21 - 12
1/3 * x = 9
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * (1/3 * x) = 3 * 9
1 * x = 27
Therefore, they played 27 games last season.

3 * (1/3 * x) = 3 * 9
1 * x = 27
Therefore, they played 27 games last season.
Joseph wants to buy tickets for the baseball game and a team hat to wear to the game. He has $34.25. If the hat costs $12.50 and tickets cost $7.25 each, how many tickets can he buy?(1 point) Responses 6 tickets 6 tickets 3 tickets 3 tickets 2 tickets 2 tickets 1 ticket 1 ticket
To solve this problem, we need to subtract the cost of the hat from Joseph's total amount and then divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ticket.
Let's set up the equation:
Total amount - hat cost = (cost per ticket) * (number of tickets)
$34.25 - $12.50 = $7.25 * (number of tickets)
$21.75 = $7.25 * (number of tickets)
To solve for the number of tickets, divide both sides of the equation by $7.25:
(number of tickets) = $21.75 / $7.25
(number of tickets) = 3
Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
Let's set up the equation:
Total amount - hat cost = (cost per ticket) * (number of tickets)
$34.25 - $12.50 = $7.25 * (number of tickets)
$21.75 = $7.25 * (number of tickets)
To solve for the number of tickets, divide both sides of the equation by $7.25:
(number of tickets) = $21.75 / $7.25
(number of tickets) = 3
Therefore, Joseph can buy 3 tickets.
