Answer:
14 games.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of games lost by Hawks.
We have been given that the Hawks won 6 more games than they lost. So number of games won by Hawks would be [tex]x+6[/tex].
We have been given that they played a total of 24 games and tied in 2 games, so total game won or lost by Hawks would be [tex]24-2=22[/tex].
Now we will equate sum of games won and lost by 22 as:
[tex]x+x+6=22[/tex]
[tex]2x+6=22[/tex]
[tex]2x+6-6=22-6[/tex]
[tex]2x=16[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=8[/tex]
Number of games won by Hawks would be [tex]x+6\Rightarrow 8+6=14[/tex]
Therefore, Hawks won 14 games.
