It will take 20 points to make the playoffs, the Hockey Team coach told the players. "We get 2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie." Let be the number of wins and be the number of ties. Write an equation to describe the values of and that will let them make the playoffs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that total points required to make the playoffs = 20 points

As there is 2 points for a win,

so points earned for x win = 2x

Similarly, as there is 1 point for a tie.

so points earned for y ties = 1 y= y

Total points earned for x win and y ties = 2x+y

As the team makes the playoff so the total points of the team must be equal to or greater than 20 points (i.e the minimum points to make the playoff), so

Hence, the required equation is .

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
