The number of years that Brad has been on the soccer team is 2 less than five times a number of years Scott has in total the boys have been on the soccer team for about 10 years how long has Brad been on the soccer team
Let the number of years for Brad be x. Then Scott = 5x-2
x+5x-2 = 10 6x = 12
x = 2 Brad has been on the team for 2 years
And Scott?
5x-2 = 5(2)-2 = 8
In total they've been on the team 10 years
Brad = 2
Scott = 8
2+8 = 10 Correct
