juin [17]

Answer:

Lisa's team have played 24 home games and 25 away games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let $x$ represents games played at home.

also $y$ represent games played away.

Total number of games played = 49

∴ $x+y=49 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1$

Now according to given data:

Number of home games won = $\frac{2}{3}$

Number of away game won = $\frac{2}{5}$

Total games won =26

Hence

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{2}{5}y=26\\\\\frac{2\times 5}{3\times 5}x+\frac{2\times 3}{5\times 5}y=26\\\\\frac{10}{15}x+\frac{6}{15}y=26\\\\\frac{10x+6y}{15}=26\\\\10x+6y= 26\times 15\\10x+6y = 390\\2(5x+3y)=390\\5x+3y=\frac{390}{5}\\\\5x+3y=195 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2\\$
