Jamie and imani each play softball. imani has won 5 fewer games than jamie. is it possible for jamie to have won 11 games if the sum of the games imani and jamie have won together is 30? yes: jamie could have won 11 games because 2x-5=30 yes: jamie could have won 11 games because 11-5 is less than 30. no: jamie could not have won 11 games because 2x-5 does not equal 30. no: jamie could not have won 11 games because 2x -11 does not equal 30.

no: jamie could not have won 11 games because 2x-5 does not equal 30

step-by-step explanation:

assume jamie won x games.

if imani won 5 fewer games than jamie, then imani won (x-5) games.

we are then given that jamie won 11 games   which implies that imani won (11-5) or 6 games.

11 games + 6 games=17.

they wanted the number of games won to be 30 and 17 isn't 30 so not possible.

so this is the answer:

no: jamie could not have won 11 games because 2x-5 does not equal 30

if you wanted your explanation to fit this answer you could say:

assume jamie won x games.

if imani won 5 fewer games than jamie, then imani won (x-5) games.

together they won (x)+(x-5)=2x-5 games.

2x-5=30

2x     =35

x       =35/2

11 is not 35/2
