Question

One season, the Hornets won 20 games. They played a total of 25 games. Write an equation to find the number of games the Hornets lost.

Answer 1

25 - 20 = 5

Explanation:

Since the Hornets have played a total of 25 games and won only 20 of them, you want the difference between the two to figure out how many games the Hornets lost.

t = total games played

w = games won

l = games lost

t - w = l
