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)
Let the number of games they played last season be x.
According to the problem, 2x - 7 = 15.
Hence, the equation is 2x - 7 = 15. Answer: \boxed{2x - 7 = 15}.
To represent this problem with an equation in the form px + q = r, let's assign variables to the unknowns in the problem.
Let's assume the number of games they played last season is '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."
The number of games they will play this season is 15, which is 7 less than 2 times x.
So, we can represent this information with the equation:
2x - 7 = 15
Here, '2x' represents 2 times the number of games they played last season, and '7' represents 7 games fewer.
Simplifying the equation further, we get:
2x = 15 + 7
2x = 22
Therefore, the equation representing the problem is:
2x - 7 = 15
Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".
According to the problem, 2 times the number of games they played last season is 2x.
And 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season is 2x - 7.
So, the equation representing the problem is:
2x - 7 = 15
