    Option B

    48 = 2s - 3 shows an equality between number of political articles that Reggie wrote this year

    Solution:

    Given that, Reggie wrote a total of 48 political articles for the town newspaper this year

    Number of political articles = 48

    Let s represent the number of sports articles he wrote

    The number of political articles he wrote is 3 less than twice the number of sports articles he wrote

    Number of political articles = twice the number of sports articles - 3

    Number of political articles = (2 x number of sports articles) - 3

    Number of political articles = 2s - 3

    We know that, number of political articles = 48

    48 = 2s - 3

    Thus above equation shows an equality between number of political articles that Reggie wrote this year
