MODELING REAL LIFE Forty-five basketball players participate in a three-on-three tournament. Write and solve an equation to find the number x of three-person teams in the tournament.
An equation that represents this problem is
= 45
They can form
three-person teams.

3x = 45

they can form 15 three-person teams

Step-by-step explanation:

45 / 3 = 15

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
