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
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
2x−7=15
1 answer
To find the number of games Annette's team played last season, we can define \( x \) as the number of games they played last season. According to the problem, the equation that represents the situation is:
\[ 15 = 2x - 7 \]
We can rearrange this to the form \( px + q = r \):
\[ 2x - 7 = 15 \]
So the correct representation of the problem in the required form is:
2x - 7 = 15
