I played 24 games of Tennis. I won 6 more than I lost. How many games of Tennis did I win?

Answer 1

From a truly algebraic standpoint, a good way of looking at this is to set up an equation. Let L represent the number of losses, and then (L+6) represents the number of wins. If we write out the equation it looks like this: L + (L + 6) = 24. Solving this then leaves you with 2L=18 or L=9

Answer 2

You won 15 games because 15+9=24 and 15-9=6.
