a hockey team plays 93 games in the season. the team won 15 more than twice the number of losses. How many games did they win and how many did the lose?

Question

my cousin and i got two different answers when answering this question. i got 54 wins and 39 losses, and she got 72 wins and 21 losses? are either of our answers correct?

Answer 1

Both of your answers are incorrect.

 

Losses = L

Wins = 2L +15

 

Therefore,

 

L + 2L + 15 = 93

 

Can you take it from here?
