If x=2, the equation would be 6 (2) + 3y = 15.
This simplifies to 12 +3y = 15. Subtract 12 from both sides and you get 3y = 3. Divide both sides by 3 and you get y = 1.
So if x = 2, y =1
If x = 5, the equation becomes 6 (5) + 3y = 15.
This simplifies to 30 + 3y = 15. Subtract 30 from both sides and you get 3y = -15. Divide both sides by 3 and you get y = -5.
So if x =5, y = -5.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
A) p = 2x - 4 for the expression. B) Your team scored 44 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <u>P</u> represent the points your team made.
Since the question says "Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points as the other team." this is how I came up with the expression.
p = 2x - 4 ( our points = 2 times more then the other teams points minus 4.
Using this expression and the given information that the other team made 24 points, I solved B.
44 = 2(24) - 4.
