Problema Solution
in a long set of tennis 18 games were played the girl who won scored 2 more games more than the loser what was the score
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of games won by the loser, then 'x+2' represents the number of games won by the winner
18 = x + x+2
16 = 2x
x = 8
8+2=10
the loser won 8 games, the winner won 10 games, the score was 10-8
