Question

Kaplun has won two less than four times as many times as Ms. Crowe. Ms Michelli has won 7 more times than Ms. Crowe. If Ms Michelli and Ms. Kaplun won the same number of games, how many games have the three of them played in total?

Answer 1

K = 4 C - 2

M = C + 7

M = K ... substituting ... 4 C - 2 = C + 7 ... 3 C = 9

solve for C , then substitute back to find K and M

total games = C + K + M

Answer 2
