Answer 1

58

Explanation:

As there are 12 teams in the league and each teams plays every other team twice per season. so, the total number of matches in the league will be 132.

let the matches won by home team = 'x'

number of matches drawn = 34

matches won by the away team = x - 18

Now, according to the question,

⇒ 132 = 34 + x + x -18

⇒ x = 58
