Question

The Fighting Hens' record has improved every year. The 2016 team won 3
more games than the 2015 team, and the 2017 team won 2 more games
than the 2016 team. If the 2017 team won 20 games, how many did the 2015
team win?

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

just calculate backwards

20 -2 -3

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer would be 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

I agree with the previous answer, in these cases you just calculate backward.

You start out with 20, then it states 2017 team won 2 more games, so you subtract 2. So now we know the 2016 team won 18 games.

Next we subtract 3 to get how many wins the 2015 team got. 18 - 3 is 15.

The answer would be 15.
