First write what are given from the question
We write "<span>Craig scored 12 points in a game" as
</span>⇒ c = 12 <em>(first equation)</em>
We write "<span>Marla scored twice as many points as Craig but 5 fewer than Nelson scored" as
</span>⇒ m = 2c <em>(second equation)</em>
⇒ m = n - 5 <em>(third equation)</em>
<span>
Second, find the expression for n based on what we write above
</span>From the second and third equation
⇒ m = m
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
Subtitute from the first equation
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
⇒ n - 5 = 2(12)
⇒ n - 5 = 24
This is the expression to find how many nelson scored
n - 5 = 24
<span>
</span>
Step 1: Find the value of one variable in terms of the other.
Step 2: Substitute the value you just found for this variable in the other equation.
Step 3: Use your new value for the second variable to find the first.
Now that we know the values for a and b we can find the value of 4a+b.
Answer:
C 2(z+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
z+(z+6)
Combine like terms
2z+6
We can factor out a 2 from each term
2(z+3)
