Question

Nicole played cards with her brother. She won 6 times as many games as she lost. Nicole won 18 games. If there were no ties, how many games did Nicole play?

Answer 1

21

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of times she lost

If she won 6 times as many games as she lost. The number of times she won can be represented as 6x

6x = 18

the number of games she lost = 18/6 = 3

Number of games played = 18 + 3 = 21
