Question

a baseball teams total wins and losses for one season is 162 the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losseswhich system of equation best represents the relationship between the number of wins W , and the number of losses L

Answer 1

W: number of wins

L: number of losses

Total wins and losses, that is, the addition of wins and losses, is 162, in terms of the variables:

W + L = 162

2 times the number of losses is: 2L

6 less than 2 times the number of losses is: 2L - 6

Then, the number of wins is:

W = 2L - 6
