You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hockey teams receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie.
One season, a team won a championship with 57 points. they won 12 more games
than they tied. How many wins did the team have?
How many ties did the team have?
:
let t = no. of ties
then
(t+12) = no. of wins
:
2(t+12) + 1t = 57
2t + 24 + t = 57
2t + t = 57 - 24
3t = 33
t =
t = 11 ties
