Answer:

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15

Explanation:

According to the question In a football season a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

A particular season a team played 34 games and lost 6 games . Finding the difference between game won and game lost simply means we have to know the number of game lost and game won.

The team played a total of 34 games.

Total games played = 34

Out of the 34 games played they lost 6 games. That means the remaining games is either win or draw. Therefore,

34 - 6 = 28 games was won or draw

Let

the number of games won = x

the number of game drew = y

3x + y = 70.............(i)

x + y = 28................(ii)

x = 28 - y

insert the value of x in equation(i)

3(28 - y) + y = 70

84 - 3y + y = 70

84 - 70 = 3y -y

14 = 2y

divide both sides by 2

y = 14/2

y = 7

insert the value of y in equation(ii)

x + y = 28

x = 28 - 7

x = 21

The team won 21 games , drew 7 games and lost 6 games.

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15
