Q. Lee scored 2525 points in yesterday's game. That was 33 more than twice the number of points Alex scored.
  1. Define Alex's Points: Let xx be the number of points Alex scored.\newlineAccording to the problem, Lee scored 33 more than twice the number of points Alex scored.\newlineThe expression for Lee's score is 2x+32x + 3.
  2. Calculate Lee's Score: We know Lee scored 2525 points.\newlineSet up an equation to find xx, the number of points Alex scored.\newlineThe equation is 25=2x+325 = 2x + 3.
  3. Solve for Alex's Points: Solve for xx.\newlineSubtract 33 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.\newline253=2x+3325 - 3 = 2x + 3 - 3\newline22=2x22 = 2x
  4. Solve for Alex's Points: Solve for xx.\newlineSubtract 33 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with xx.\newline253=2x+3325 - 3 = 2x + 3 - 3\newline22=2x22 = 2xDivide both sides of the equation by 22 to solve for xx.\newline22/2=2x/222 / 2 = 2x / 2\newline11=x11 = x
