Question

What are the answers and how?

Answer 1

a)
`x=2p-4`

b) our team scored 44 points

Explanation:

Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points p as the other team.

a) Write algebraic expression

Let x is your basketball team score, the expression will be:

`x=2p-4`

b) The other team scored 24 points. How many points did your team score?

p=24

we need to find x

`x=2p-4\\Put \ p=24\\x=2(24)-4\\x=48-4\\x=44`

So, our team scored 44 points
