Ethan scored 4 points less than twice the number of points Campbell scored. Campbell scored 8 points. Write equation and solve to find out how many points Ethan scored.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2x-4=8, and x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you need what you're looking for which in this case it will be x.

Ethan scored twice as much which you will multiply by 2 (hence the 2x). But you also need to subtract 4 from that so you get 2x-4. To make sure it's right you make it all equal to 8.

So you add 4 to 8 and get 12

then you divide 12 by 2 to get 6

Therefore, x=6

Hope this helps!
