In a competition 6 points are awarded for every game won while 2 questions are deducted for every game lost . A competitor got a total of 34 points after attempting 15 games. How many games did de he win

Answer 1

Let the number of games won be x and the number of games lost be y.

Based on the given information, we can set up the following equations:
6x - 2y = 34
x + y = 15

Solving these two equations simultaneously, we get:
x = 9
y = 6

Therefore, the competitor won 9 games.
