Question

There are n teams in a league and the number of games played is given by the polynomial n^2 - n=N. A woman's softball league has 6 teams. What is the total number of games to be played?

Answer 1

plug 6 into the equation. I'm assuming N is the total number of games played?

Answer 2

n^2-n = N
6^2-6=N
36-6=N
30 = N

The number of games played is 30.

Answer 3
