In football seasons, a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. In a particular season, a team played 34 games and lost 6 games. If the team had a total of 70 points at the end of the season, what is the difference between games won and games lost?

Answer:

The difference between games won and games lost is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the team played 34 games and lost 6, the number of games where they got points is 28, therefore the number of wins plus draws, must be equal to that:

[tex]win + draws = 28[/tex]

Since each win values 3 points, while each draw values 1 point, then the number of points earned is given by:

[tex]3*win + draws = 70\\[/tex]

We now have a system of equations, which we can solve.

[tex]win + draws = 28\\3*win + draws = 70\\[/tex]

Multiplying the first equation by -1:

[tex]-win- draws = -28\\3*win + draws = 70[/tex]

Adding both equations:

[tex]2*win = 42\\win = 21[/tex]

Since the team won 21 games and lost 6, the difference is 15.
