Answer:

There were 7 players on the Bears

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = falcons[/tex]

[tex]b = bears[/tex]

We have that:

[tex]a = 11[/tex]

and also:

[tex]a = 2b - 3[/tex] --- 3 fewer than twice a

Required

Solve for b

Substitute 11 for a in [tex]a = 2b - 3[/tex]

[tex]11 = 2b - 3[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides

[tex]3+11 = 2b - 3+3[/tex]

[tex]3+11 = 2b[/tex]

[tex]14 = 2b[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{14}{2} = \frac{2b}{2}[/tex]

[tex]7 = b[/tex]

[tex]b = 7[/tex]

Hence, there were 7 players on the Bears
