The Mathletes won 2 of their first 10 meets. They went on to win all their remaining meets and finished the year with an equal number of wins and losses. What is the total number of meets in which the Mathletes competed?

Answer 1

If there were x more meets to go, and they won them all, then, since the wins = the losses

2+x = 10-2

take it from there. Note that the value of x is not the answer.

Answer 2
