Question

PLZ HELP! I'M ON A TIME CRUNCH!

Diego scored 9 points less than Andre in the basketball game. Noah scored twice as many points as Diego. If Noah scored 10 pints, how many points did Andre score?

Answer 1

Andre score 14 points

Explanation:

noah = 2*diego

diego = andre - 9

given noah = 10

noah = 2*Diego

10 = 2*Diego

Diego = 5

diego = andre - 9

5 = andre - 9

andre = 9 + 5

Andre = 14

Answer 2

Let andre score be x points.

then Diego's score will be (x-9) points.

Noah's points=2(x-9) points

the equation is 2(x-9) = 10

dividing both sides by 2,

2(x-9)/2 =. 10/2

x-9= 5

adding 9 both sides,

x-9+9= 5+9

x=14.
