Answer:
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total wins be x
Let the total loss be y
If a baseball team's total wins and losses for one season is 162, this can be expressed as;
x + y = 162 ....... 1
If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses, this is expressed as;
2 times the number of losses = 2y
6 less than 2 times the number of losses = 2y - 6
Now, If the number of wins is 6 less than 2 times the number of losses this is expressed as;
x = 2y - 6 .... 2
Hence the required system of equation are;
x + y = 162 and x = 2y - 6
