5x-12=3x+20
plus 12 both sides
5x=3x+32
-3x both sides
2x=32
divide by 2 both sides
x=16
3/5 = 0.3 * x
3/5 is 30% of x - This is how they match up from the word problem to a number sentence
So to solve it...
3/5 = 0.3x
x = 3/5 ÷ 0.3 = 2

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.
