Which equation represents this problem?

During a basketball game, Rea scores two less than five times the number of goals that Ben scores. Rea scores 18 goals. How many goals does Ben score?

Let b = the number of goals Ben scores.





b–2=18b–2=18

b–5=18b–5=18

2b–5=182b–5=18

5b–2=18

Answer :

5b–2=18, This is correct because you have to take 5 times Ben's number of goals, subtract 2 and that equals Rea's goals, 18.
