MODELING REAL LIFE Forty-five basketball players participate in a three-on-three tournament. Write and solve an equation to find the number x of three-person teams in the tournament.
An equation that represents this problem is
= 45
They can form
three-person teams.

3x = 45

they can form 15 three-person teams

Step-by-step explanation:

45 / 3 = 15

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
