Question

In a football (soccer) league, teams receive 3 points for a win (W), 2 points for a tie (T) and 1 point for a loss (L).

Answer 1

A) Total points = 3W + 2T + 1L

b) (3*5) + (2*2) + (3*1)
15 + 4 + 3 = 22
The Black Scot’s total points were 22

c) so, Wins + Ties + Losses = 10 because there were only 10 games played. but we also have to remember that we only can have 22 points. I just randomly plug in numbers until I get what I am looking for.

so I did 4 wins, 4 ties, and 2 losses. this is a total of 10 games, and the points equal 22. we just plug those values into our first equation:
(3*4) + (2*4) + (1*2)
12 + 8 + 2 = 22 points
