Question

A cricket team won two matches more than they lost. If they win they get 5 points and for loss 3 points, how many matches have they played if their total score is 50.

Answer 1

Answer:

12 Matches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Points for winning=5

Points for Losing=3

Total points team has=50

To find: Total matches played by team

Let matches lost by team be X

then matches won will be X+2

then we can write that

(X * 3) + {5*(X + 2)} = 50

3 X + 5 X + 10 = 50

3 X + 5 X = 50-10

8 X = 40

X = 40÷8

X = 5

if X is 5 then X +2 will be 7.

Team lost 5 matches and won 7 matches so in total they played 5+7=12 matches.
