diego scored 9 points less than andre in the basketball game. noah scored twice as many points as diego. if noah scored 10 points, how many points did andre score?

Explanation:

Step1: Find Diego's points

Let Diego's points be \( D \). Noah scored twice as many as Diego, and Noah scored 10. So \( 2D = 10 \), then \( D=\frac{10}{2}=5 \).

Step2: Find Andre's points

Let Andre's points be \( A \). Diego scored 9 less than Andre, so \( D = A - 9 \). Substitute \( D = 5 \): \( 5 = A - 9 \), then \( A=5 + 9 = 14 \).

Answer:

Andre scored 14 points.
