Question

Amic and Bernie built a maze for their hamsters. Annic's hamster completed the maze 7 seconds less than twice the time it took Bernie's hamster to complete the maze. If Bernie's hamster completed the maze in b seconds, which expression represents the time, in seconds, it took Annie's hamster to complete the maze?

A. 7-2b

B. 2b-7

c. 2b+7

D. 2b/7​

Answer 1

Answer:

2b-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Bernie's hamster completed the maze in b seconds.

Annic's hamster completed the maze 7 seconds less than twice the time it took Bernie's hamster to complete the maze.

Twice the time it took Bernie's hamster to complete the maze is 2b.

7 seconds less than twice the time it took Bernie's hamster = 2b-7

So, the correct option is (b) "2b-7".
