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
Answer:
The number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number
Now let's break it down!
Sum of a number and 3 gives;
x + 3
This is then doubled to give;
2* (x + 3)
This is added to the product of 6 and the original number to give 46
Product of 6 and the original number = 6 * x
Now 2* (x + 3) is added to 6 * x to give 46
2* (x + 3) + 6*x = 46
2x + 6 + 6x = 46
8x + 6 = 46
Subtract 6 from both sides
8x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6
8x = 40
x = 40/8
x = 5
Hence, the number is 5
7 34/24. Hope this helps!
