Question

One season, the Tigers won 14 games and lost twice as many games as the

Blue Jays. They played a total of 20 games. Use the equation 14 + 2g = 20
to determine g, the number of games the Blue Jays lost.

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can use the equation 14 + 2g = 20 to determine the number of games the Blue Jays lost (represented by 'g').

First, subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

2g = 20 - 14

2g = 6

Now, divide both sides by 2 to isolate 'g':

g = 6 / 2

g = 3

So, the Blue Jays lost 3 games.
