Answer:
a) [tex]x=2p-4[/tex]
b) our team scored 44 points
Step-by-step 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:
[tex]x=2p-4[/tex]
b) The other team scored 24 points. How many points did your team score?
p=24
we need to find x
[tex]x=2p-4\\Put \ p=24\\x=2(24)-4\\x=48-4\\x=44[/tex]
So, our team scored 44 points
