abio and Carlos play on a basketball team together. In the last game, Fabio had 777 points less than 222 times as many points as Carlos. Fabio scored 313131 points in the game. Write an equation to determine the number of points (c)(c)(, c, )Carlos scored in the last game.

The equation 31=2c-7 to determine the number of points Carlos scored in the last game.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with,(I think every number is repeating for 3 times. So, I took each number as once)

Fabio had 7 less than 2 times as many points as Carlos. And Fabio score 31 points.

Let Carlos scored in the last game as "C".

So, we can set up equation for Fabio had 7 less than 2 times Carlos as

Fabio= 2C-7

Like so for Fabio score 31 as

Fabio =31

So, substitute Fabio as 31 into the first equation, we get

31= 2c-7

So, the equation 31=2c-7 to determine the number of points Carlos scored in the last game.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
