Hockey team receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie. One season a team on a championship with 63 points. THey won 9 more games hten they tied. How many wins and how may ties did they ahve

Answer provided by our tutors

let the number of game won is x and tied is y

thus total point is

2x+y=63

again x= y+9

hence

2(y+9)+y=63

=> 2y+18+y=63

=> 3y= 45

=> y= 15

x=24

won 24 tie =15
