Equation : 2x - 3 = 45

Paula sold 24 packages last year

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DATA:</u>

Number of packages Paula sold this year = 45 packages

This year's packages are 3 less than twice the number of packages sold last year.

  • 3 less than = -3
  • Twice the number of packages sold last year

Let's assume the number of packages sold last year to be x

2x

Equation:

2x - 3 = 45

<u>Solution:</u>

2x - 3 = 45

2x = 48

x = 24

Therefore, Paula sold 24 packages last year.
