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
Let x be the number of games they played last season.
2x - 7 represents 2 times the number of games they played last season, minus 7.
The equation is 2x - 7 = 15.
Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".
According to the problem, Annette's soccer team will play 15 games this season, which is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season.
So, we can write the equation as:
2x - 7 = 15
Thus, the correct equation in the form px + q = r is:
2x - 7 = 15
To represent the problem with an equation, let's first define a variable. Let x be the number of games Annette's soccer team played last season.
According to the problem, the number of games they will play this season is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. So, the equation can be set up as follows:
2x - 7 = 15
In this equation, 2x represents 2 times the number of games played last season, and we subtract 7 because it is 7 games fewer. The result should be equal to the total number of games they will play this season, which is 15.
Therefore, the correct equation representing the problem is 2x - 7 = 15.
