What is Expression?

In maths, an expression is a combination of numbers, variables, functions (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division etc.)

According to the question,

First we  look from the perspective of one player.

How many games does this person play? 5.

Now, each or the 6 people in the tournament played 5 games,

SO,  

[tex]^{6} C_{2} = \frac{6!}{2! * 4!} = \frac{6*5}{2} = 15[/tex]

Therefore,

We know that there were a total of 15 games played.

This means, there were 15 losses, and more importantly, 15 wins.

Not counting Monica, there were:

4 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 13 wins.

This leaves,

15 − 13 = 2 wins for Monica.

Hence, 2 games won by monica in a tournament.
