Commutative law: a+b=b+a thats it...
So 9+7 can also be written as 7+9=16

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.
