Marnie practiced her basketball dribbling. After two tries she had bounced the ball 88 times. On the second try she had 2 fewer bounces than 8 times the number of bounces she had on the first try.How many bounces did she have on the second

Try

let:

T1 = the first try
T2 = the second try

So, in terms of T1, T2 will equal

T2 = 8(T1) - 2

The total must be 88 so

T1 + [8(T1) - 2] = 88

Solve for T1...

9(T1) - 2 = 88
9(T1) = 90
T1 = 10

So plug this back into the equation to get the number of bounces in the second try.

T2 = 8(T1) - 2
T2 = 8(10) - 2
T2 = 80 - 2
T2 = 78
