Answer 1

There are still 18 games remaining in this season.

Explanation:

In order to find the number of games that still remain in the season we need to solve the equation that was given to us that stablishes a relation between the number of games played in home with the remaining games in the season. This is shown bellow:

1/3*g + 6 = 12

1/3*g = 12 - 6

1/3*g = 6

g = 6*3

g = 18

There are still 18 games remaining in this season.
