Answer 2

2c-7=31

c=19

Explanation:

Let the number of points Carlos had=c

2 times as many points as Carlos=2c

In the last game, Fabio had 7 points less than 2 times as many points as Carlos.

Fabio's point in the last game=2c-7

Since Fabio Scored 31 points in the last game,

2c-7=31

Thus is the equation to determine the number of points Carlos scored.

Next, we solve for the number of points Carlos had.

2c-7=31

2c=31+7

2c=38

c=19

Carlos had 19 points in the last game.
