46. A hockey team gets 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie. There are four teams in the Western League, the Eagles, Falcons, Hawks, and Cardinals. Each team plays 25 games. The Eagles win 15 and tie 3. The Cardinals win 6 and lose 14. The Hawks win 13 and lose 8. The Falcons win 9 and tie 2. Prepare a standings chart for the league. Order the teams from most points to least points.​

Answer: If a game ends in a win, 3 total points are awarded. 3 to the winner, 0 to the loser. If a game ends in a tie, 2 points are awarded total, one to each team. The total points awarded is 22+19+14+12=67. Because there are 4 teams, there are 2 games per week (2 teams per game) and 12 weeks so 24 total games. So if t=games tied and w=games ended in a win, we have 2 equations. 3w+2t=67 and t+w=24. Solving for t, t=24-w. Plugging into the other equation, 3w+2(24-w)=67. Which is w+48=67 so w=19 and t+19=24 so t=5.

Hope it helps.
