Hockey teams receive 2 points when thy win and 1 point when they tie.
One season, a team won a championship with 64 points. They won 11 more games than they tied. How many wins and how many ties did the teams have?
25 wins and 14 ties.
25 wins and 14 ties.
References :
t = tied games
t + 11 = won games
(1)t + 2(t + 11) = 64
t + 2t + 22 = 64
3t = 42
t = 14
tied 14, won 25
References :
Let x + 11 = # of games won
Let x = # of games tied
2(x + 11) + x = 64 (Points received)
3x + 22 = 64
3x = 42
x = 14
The team tied 14 games and won 25
