Answer: Let us assume number of points scored by Team B = b points.
Number of points scored by Team A 5 fewer than twice as many points as Team B, that is "5 less than 2b" = (2b-5) points .
Team C scored 80 more points than Team B, that is " 80 more than b" = (b+80) points.
Total number of points scored by all teams = 983 points.
Therefore, we can setup an equation:
(2b-5) + b + (b+80) = 983.
Therefore, an equation to represent this scenario using the variable b to represent Team B’s total points is (2b-5) + b + (b+80) = 983.
Team A= 2b-5
Team B= b
Team C= b+80
The equation representing this scenario is (2b-5)+ b + (b+80)= 983
