If t represents the number of teams in the league,
me number of teams in the league, which statement is true!
A Since 56 – 14 = t, there are 42 teams in the league.
B Since 14 + 56 = t, there are 70 teams in the league.
C Since 14t = 56, there are 4 teams in the league.
D Since 14 = 56 - t, there are 8 teams in the league.

Answer 1

C. Since 14t = 56, there are 4 teams in the league

Explanation:

When you multiply the number of players by the number of teams, you get the total number of players in the league.

___

You could just add them up, but multiplication was invented to make repeated addition easier.

14 + 14 + 14 + 14 = 56

14×4 = 56

This is equivalent to ...

14t = 56 . . . . . with t = 4

You can solve this equation by dividing both sides by 14:

(14t/14) = 56/14

t = 4 . . . . . simplify
