Question

A baseball team will play 12 home games during the season. It has played 6 home games so far. Of the season’s remaining games, 1 3 will be played at home. The equation 1 3 g + 6 = 12 can be used to find the total number of games, g, remaining this season. How many games, g, remain in the season

Answer 1

g=18

Explanation:

Answer 2

1/3 g + 6 = 12

subtract 6 from each side

1/3 g +6-6 = 12 -6

1/3 g = 6

multiply by 3 on each side

1/3 g * 3 = 6*3

g = 18

there are 18 games remaining in the season
