<span>To write a two-variable equation, you would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, you would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. You could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. Your variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation you could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.</span>
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
