(c)left parenthesis, c, right parenthesis Carlos scored in the last game.

Answer 1

Carlos scored 19 points.
Fabio had 7 points less than 2 times as many points as Carlos.
let c is the number of point that Carlos scored then the equation to determine the number of points Carlos scored is;
2c - 7 = 31
Now solve for c,
2c = 31+7
2c = 38
c = 19
