Question

In the 2002 - 2003 NBA regular season, the Sacramento Kings

Answer 1

Answer: Number of games lost = 23 and Number of games won = 59.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Number of games lost, y = Number of games won.

y = 13 + 2x    (i)

x+ y = 82    (ii)

Substitute value of y from (i) in (ii) , we get

x+ 13 + 2x  = 82

⇒ 3x= 82-13

⇒ 3x = 69

⇒  x= 23      [Divide both sides by 3]

Put value of x in (i), y= 13+2(23) = 13+46=59

Hence, Number of games lost = 23 and Number of games won = 59.
