Answer:
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total wins be x
Let the total loss be y
If a baseball team's total wins and losses for one season is 162, this can be expressed as;
x + y = 162 ....... 1
If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses, this is expressed as;
2 times the number of losses = 2y
6 less than 2 times the number of losses = 2y - 6
Now, If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses this is expressed as;
x = 2y - 6 .... 2
Hence the required system of equation are;
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
Don’t listen to get the links they are annoying
Distribute
x-12x+30=-x-4
Combine like terms
-11x+30=-x-4
Add x to both sides
-10x+30= -4
Subtract 30 from both sides
-10x=-34
Divide both sides by -10
x=3.4
Final answer: x=3.4
