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.
15x-20<130
15x<130+20
15x<150
X=150/15
x<10
Actually, 40 is divisible by 7. Any number is divisible by 7. However, 7 does not go into forty evenly. Your quotient would have a remainder since 7 cannot go into 40 an even number of times.
7 goes into 40 5 times evenly (7x5=35) 40-35 is five, so 40 divided by 7 is 5 (remainder 5)
