Haley read three less than twice as many books as her brother did last summer. haley read five books. which equation could you use to find how many books her brother read (b)?

2b - 3 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If her brother read b number of books last summer, twice the number of books her brother read

= 2b

three less than twice as many books as her brother read

= 2b - 3

If haley read five books and it is same as three less than twice as many books as her brother last summer, then

2b - 3 = 5

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

1/4 because there is 4 grades.
