Question

The Panthers team won exactly 2 of its first 9 games. By winning all its remaining N games, the panthers ended with victories in exactly half of the games played. What does N represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

N represent 5 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to get the total number of games. From the information given, the total number of games is 9 + N = (9 + N) games

The total number of games won is (2 + N) games and this is exactly half of the total number of games.

This mathematically means

2(2 + N) = (9 + N)

4 + 2N = 9 + N

2N - N = 9 - 4

N = 5 games
