Question

Sam and Alex play tennis. On the weekend Sam played 4 more games than Alex did, and together they played 12 games. How many games did Alex play ?

Answer 1

Hey there !

Here's your answer

Let the number of games played by Alex be x

And Number of games played by Sam be 4 + x

therefore, x + x + 4 = 12

2x = 12 - 4

2x = 8

x = 8/2 => x = 4

Thus,

Alex played 4 games and Sam played 4 + 4 = 8 games.


Hope it helps
