Jake scored about twice as many points as willie. Jake scored 22 points. Write an equation and use it to estimate the number n of points willie scored.

A) about 20 points
B) about 24 points
C) about 11 points
D) about 44 points

Respuesta :

Willie's points = n

Therefore Jake's points = 2n

2n=22

n=11

C is your answer

The number of points that were scored by Willie will be 11 points.

Let the number of points that Willie scored be represented by n.

Since Jake scored about twice as many points as willie and he scored 22 points, the expression to solve this will be:

(2 × n) = 22

2n = 22

Divide both sides by 2

2n/2 = 22/2

n = 11

Therefore, Willie scored 11 points.
