Question

On the weekend Sam played 4 more games than Alex did, and together they played 12 games.

Answer 1

Games Played by Alex = y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Games played by Sam

Let y = Games played by Alex

Making Equations of given statements:

Sam played 4 more games than Alex did : 4+x=y

together they played 12 games: x+y = 12

Putting value of y=4+x into the equation x+y = 12

$x+y=12\\x+(4+x)=12\\x+4+x=12\\2x=12-4\\2x=8\\x=4$

Putting value of x=4 into 4+x=y

$4+x=y\\4+4=y\\8=y$

So, Games Played by Alex =y= 8
