Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that total points required to make the playoffs = 20 points
As there is 2 points for a win,
so points earned for x win = 2x
Similarly, as there is 1 point for a tie.
so points earned for y ties = 1 y= y
Total points earned for x win and y ties = 2x+y
As the team makes the playoff so the total points of the team must be equal to or greater than 20 points (i.e the minimum points to make the playoff), so
Hence, the required equation is .
