Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question :

Diego scored 9 points less than Andre in the basketball game. Noah scored twice as many points as Diego. If

Noah scored 10 points, how many points did Andre score?

Given:

Diego scored 9 points less than Andre in the basketball game.

Noah scored twice as many points as Diego.

Noah scored 10 points

To find Andre's points.

Solution:

Let Andre's score be = $x$ points

Then, Diego's points will be = $(x-9)$ points

Noah's points will be = $2(x-9)$ points

Noah's points given = 10 points.

Thus, the equation can be given as:

$2(x-9)=10$

Solving for $x$.

Dividing both sides by 2.

$\frac{2(x-9)}{2}=\frac{10}{2}$

$x-9=5$

Adding 9 both sides.

$x-9+9=5+9$

∴ $x=14$

Thus, Andre scored 14 points in the game.
