Let x be the number of wins. Write an equation on paper, then solve it.

How many wins did the Falcons have?   wins

2.
United earned 29 points from wins and draws. The team had 8 wins. Let x be its number of draws. Which equation and arithmetic calculation find x?
  • A. 8 + 3x = 29; calculate (29 − 8) ÷ 3.
  • B. 3 × 8 − x = 29; calculate 3 × 8 − 29.
  • C. 3 × 8 + x = 29; calculate 29 − 3 × 8.
  • D. 3(x + 8) = 29; calculate 29 ÷ 3 − 8.
3.
Rovers had 4 draws and finished with 25 points. For next season, their target is 3 more wins and the same number of draws. Find this season's wins first.
