Question

My last math question of the day! Help me out!

What equation can be used to find B, the number of points scored!

Thank you!

Answer 1

I believe it is A

Explanation:

Since in this problem you would want to find b, which is stated the is almost 4 times 26... however is 2 less. The other options are wrong since you would want a bigger number, not a smaller one... Hopefully this is helpful

Answer 2

A

Explanation:

Let b represent the number of points Ben scored.

We know that Lori scored 26 points.

This amount is two less than four times what Ben scored.

Four times what Ben scored will simply be 4b.

And two less will be 4b - 2.

This is equivalent to Lori's score.

So, we can write that:

`4b-2=26`

Hence, our answer is A.
