Joe and Andrew shot baskets in a school fair. Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 baskets more than Andrew. Supply the correct numbers to complete the equation that can be used to determine the number of baskets, b , that Andrew made.(1 point) b +
2 = 9
To determine the number of baskets Andrew made, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Let's use the variable "b" to represent the number of baskets Andrew made.
According to the information given, Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 baskets more than Andrew. This can be written as:
Joe's baskets = Andrew's baskets + 2
Plugging in the given numbers, we get:
9 = b + 2
Therefore, the correct equation to determine the number of baskets Andrew made is:
b + 2 = 9
To complete the equation, we need to find the number of baskets Andrew made. We know that Joe made 9 baskets, which is 2 baskets more than Andrew. Let's solve this step by step:
Let's assume the number of baskets made by Andrew as 'b'.
Since Joe made 2 baskets more than Andrew, the number of baskets made by Joe would be 'b + 2'.
To find the total number of baskets made by both Joe and Andrew, we need to add the number of baskets each person made:
b + (b + 2) = Total number of baskets made
Simplifying the equation:
2b + 2 = Total number of baskets made
Now we have the equation that can be used to determine the number of baskets (b) that Andrew made.
