In a basketball tournament, team a scored 5 fewer than twice as many points as team b. team c scored 80 more points than team b. the combined score for all three teams was 983 points. write an equation to represent this scenario using the variable b to represent team b’s total points.

Let us assume number of points scored by Team B = b points.

Number of points scored by Team A 5 fewer than twice as many points as Team B, that is "5 less than 2b" = (2b-5) points .

Team C scored 80 more points than Team B, that is " 80 more than b" = (b+80) points.

Total number of points scored by all teams = 983 points.

Therefore, we can setup an equation:

Therefore, an equation to represent this scenario using the variable b to represent Team B’s total points is (2b-5) + b + (b+80) = 983.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
