Jennifer's basketball team played 18 games this season, and they won twice as many games as they lost. How many games did they lose? A) 6 B) 9 C) 12 D) 15

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to create an equation

since there was 18 games and 2 times as many losses as wins you would do

18= 2x+x

x stands for the losses

2x stands for the wins

combine the x values

18=3x

divide 18 by 3 to isolate x

6=x

since there was 2 times more wins than losses

2(6)= 12 meaning there was 6 losses and 12 wins
