#9). We don't know how many points the other team scored,

They scored T points.
twice as many points as them is 2T

That's how many points WE scored. 2T-4
b. If they scored 24, then that's ' T '.
Take our score ... 2T-4 ... and write ' 24 ' in place of ' T '.
2 (24) - 4
48 - 4
44 . <== That's our score. It's 4 less than double Them.
