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 2x+7=15 2 x plus 7 equals 15 7−2x=15 7 minus 2 x equals 15 2x−7=15 2 x minus 7 equals 15
Let the number of games they played last season be represented by x.
According to the problem, Annette's soccer team will play 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season. So the number of games they will play this season is given by 2x - 7.
We are given that this number is equal to 15, so we can write the equation as:
2x - 7 = 15
Let's represent the number of games they played last season with the variable "x".
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, we can write this as an equation:
2x - 7 = 15
Therefore, the correct equation representing the problem is 2x - 7 = 15.
To represent the problem with an equation, let's start by defining a variable for the number of games they played last season. Let's say the number of games they played last season is 'x'.
According to the problem, "that" (referring to the 15 games they will play this season) is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season.
"2 times the number of games they played last season" can be represented as 2x.
So, the equation can be written as:
2x - 7 = 15
Hence, the correct equation in the form px + q = r is 2x - 7 = 15.
