Answer:
b = (T - a - c - d) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of points required to advance.
a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:
Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:

Answer:
-13 -
+ 4p + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
I am having a little trouble reading the number. I think 5 is the question number and not part of the problem. I think this is the problem:
(4p - 6 - 3) - (8
+ 7
- 6) You take the opposite of everything inside the second set of parentheses. You can think of it as multiplying through by -1
4p - 6 - 3 - 8
- 7
+ 6 Now we combine like terms. That is the numbers with the same variable p and the same power of p.
-13 - 8
+ 4p + 3
