Problema Solution
A basketball team played 68 games. They won 34 more than they lost. How many games did they win?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of games won
y = the number of games they lost
the basketball team played 68 games
x + y = 68
they won 34 more than they lost
x = y + 34
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 68
x = y + 34
we find
x = 51 games won
y = 17 games lost
considering that there were no ties.
