and for wins, they had 10 more than ties

sorry, not good at math so i just gave the basics

Answer 2

Math. Ew.

Answer 3

Let P = Points

Let W = Wins

Let T = Ties

W = T + 10 (10 more wins then ties)

2W + T = P (53)

*Substitute

2(T + 10) + T = 53

2T + 20 + T = 53

3T = 33

T = 11

*Plug back into formula

2W + T = 53

2W + 11 = 53

2W = 42

W = 21

Therefore: The team had 21 wins and 11 ties.

Answer 4

Wow

what+what=what?

Answer 5

21 wins 11 ties

21X2=42

11X1=11

42+11=53
