For a. I got t*2-4 so far, is it right? Should I correct something?
your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points x, as the other team 2x - 4
a. Write an expression for the number of points your team scored.
expression:?
Thats correct so far.
What is the answer for b?
2x-4
Does anyone know the second half of it where it says the other team scored 24 points. How many did your team score
what is B
what is b
Great job on part a! Your expression t*2-4 is indeed correct, where t represents the number of points the other team scored.
For part b, the other team scored 24 points. To find out how many points your team scored, we can substitute t = 24 into the expression.
Your team's score = t*2 - 4
Your team's score = 24*2 - 4
Your team's score = 48 - 4
Your team's score = 44
Therefore, your team scored 44 points. Well done!
