Luis and al are competing in a table tennis match. the first person who win either three consecutive games or a total of four games wins the match. in how many different ways can their match be played?

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these angles are the same, we can make an equation, 5x-5=3x+13.

2x - 18  =   2 • (x - 9)

Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve  :    x-9 = 0  

Add  9  to both sides of the equation :  

x = 9

Replace x with 9 in this equation,  3(9) + 13

27+13
