Jennifer's basketball team played 18 games this season, and they won twice as many games as they lost. how many games did they lose? a) 6 b) 9 c) 12 d) 15

We can make the equation x plus 2x equals 18.x plus 2x is 3x.So 3x equals 18. 3x6 is 18.A or 6 is the answer.

If that is too confusing we can do this,we know they won twice as many as lost so 15 plus 15x2 is 45.Thats not the answer we need 18.12 plus 12x2 is 36.Nope. 9 plus 9x2 is 27.Nope.6 plus 6x2 is 18.Thats what we need.18. So 18 is the answer

Bi’m pretty sure hope it works
