Hockey teams receive 2 points when they win and 1 point when they tie. One season, a team won a championship with 61 points. They won 11 more games than they tied. How many wins and how many ties did the team have?

Answer 1

X Ties and (X+11) Wins.

1*X + 2(X+11) = 61 Points.

X + 2X + 22 = 61
3X = 61 -22 = 39
X = 13 Ties.
X + 11 = 13 + 11 =24 Wins.
