Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a=b-8___1)

a=2-b___2)

from 1) & 2)

b-8=2-b

b+b=2+8

b=10

a=2

ans Sam 10games

Alex 2games

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no of game played by Alex be x

therefore no game played by Sam be (x+8)

the total game they play=24

the required equations. x+x+8=24

2x=24-8

x=16/2

x=8

8 game played by Alex and 8+8=16 game game played by sam
