Hockey teams receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie.
\n" ); document.write( " One season, a team won a championship with 57 points. they won 12 more games
\n" ); document.write( " than they tied. How many wins did the team have?
\n" ); document.write( " How many ties did the team have?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let t = no. of ties
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(t+12) = no. of wins
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2(t+12) + 1t = 57
\n" ); document.write( "2t + 24 + t = 57
\n" ); document.write( "2t + t = 57 - 24
\n" ); document.write( "3t = 33
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\"33%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11 ties
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution (11+12=23 wins)
\n" ); document.write( "23(2) + 11 = 57 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
