Lee scored 25 points in yesterday's game. That was 3 more than twice the number of points Alex scored.
Which equation can be used to find, a, the number of points Alex scored?
Answers
A.25+3=2a
B.25=3+2a
C.2(25)+3=a
D.2(25)=3+a
Let a represent the number of points Alex scored.
According to the information given, Lee scored 3 more than twice the number of points Alex scored.
Since 2 times a is twice the number of points Alex scored, the equation would be:
2a + 3 = 25
Therefore, the correct equation would be:
A) 2a + 3 = 25
