Kate and kelvin played a shooting game. Kevin got 52 points which was 54 points less than 2 times that of kates points. How many points did Kate get?

53 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points gotten by Kate be represented by x.

Since we are given the information that Kevin got 52 points which was 54 points less than 2 times that of kates points. This can be formed into an equation as:

(2 × x) - 54 = 52

2x = 52 + 54

2x = 106

x = 106/2

x = 53

Kate got 53 points

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
