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?

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
2W+1*L=64
Now, put L+11 in for W on the bottom equation.
2(L+11)+L=64
solve for L
Thank you guys
