Question

Can you please explain this in detail so I can write it down and know how to do it for future reference?

Hockey teams receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie. One season, a team won a championship with 64 points. They won 11 more games than they tied. How many wins and how many ties did they have?

Answer 1

number of games tied: x
number of games won : x+11

2(x+11) + x = 64

solve

Answer 2

W=L+11
2W+1*L=64

Now, put L+11 in for W on the bottom equation.
2(L+11)+L=64
solve for L
