Let's use the equation px + q = r to represent this problem.

Let x = the number of games they played last season.

We are told that Annette's soccer team will play 15 games this season, which is 7 games fewer than 2 times the number of games they played last season.

So, we can write the equation: 2x - 7 = 15.

The correct answer is A. 2x−7=15.
