Question

Please help! Does this question have a formula, if so how can I answer this question without the formula? Is it possible.

Hockey teacm receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie. The team won a championship with 50 points. They won 10 more games than they tied. How many wins and how many ties were there?

Thanks

Answer 1

You need to write and solve a system of equations (2 equations with 2 variables) and solve the system. Define your variables as w = Number of games won, and t = number of games tied.
