win they get 5 points and for loss - 3 points, how many matches
have they played if their total score is 50.
pls solve this ​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 MATCHE$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

The total matches played by the team is 130 matches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total score scored by them be 50 .

For 1 win they get 5points and for losing 1 match -3 points .

Since, the cricket team won two matches more than they lost .

Therefore,

Let the matches lost by them be x matches,

then the equation formed will be;

5(x+2)+{-3(x)}=50

5x+10-3x=50

2x+10=50

2x=50-10

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

so the lost matches is 20 and number of matches won are 110 so the total matches played are 130 matches

Verification

let us put x=20

so,

5(x+2)-3x=50

5(20+2)-3(20)=50

5(22)-3(20)=50

110-60=50

50=50

LHS =RHS
