The Denver Ducks won 2/3 of their games. The Minneapolis Moles won half of their games. The two teams played the same number of games and together won a total of 49 games. How many games did each team win?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of Duck wins:
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"49-x\" is the number of Mole wins.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"y\" be the number of games each team played.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/3)y
\n" ); document.write( "49-x =(1/2)y
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2y
\n" ); document.write( "98-2x = y
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 196-4x
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 196
\n" ); document.write( "x = 28 (# of Duck wins)
\n" ); document.write( "49-x = 21 (# of Mole wins)
