You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the following problem using a system of two equation in two variables.
Hockey teams receive 2 points for win, and 1 for tie. the wildcats once won a championship with 60 points.
they won 9 more games than they tied.
how many wins and how many ties did the wildcats win??
:
Let t = no. of ties
Let w = no. of wins
:
2w + t = 60
:
w = t + 9
:
Replace w with (t+9) in the 1st equation
2(t+9) + t = 60
2t + 18 + t = 60
3t = 60 - 18
3t = 42
t =
t = 14 ties
then
w = t + 9
w = 14 + 9
w = 23 wins
;
:
Check solution
2(23) + 14 =
46 + 14 = 60
