Question

A baseball team's total wins and losses for one season is 162. The number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses. Which system of equations best represents the relationship between the number of wins and the number of losses

Answer 1

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
