Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of doubles games
Let y be the number of singles games
x + y = 13 Multiply by 2
2x + 2y = 26
4x + 2y = 38 Subtract
-2x= -12 Divide by -2
-2x/-2 = - 12/-2
x = 6
x + y = 13
6 + y = 13
y = 7
There are 6 doubles matches being playing
That means there are 12 teams engaged in 6 doubles matches or 24 players
There are 7 singles matches
That means there are 14 players total that are playing singles
24 + 14 = 38 players all together.
