Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In a recent chess tournament, the final match ended in a draw. If each player had won 3 matches and lost 2 before the final, how many matches did they play in total?
Step 1: Each player played 3 matches that they won.
Step 2: Each player played 2 matches that they lost.
Step 3: To find the total matches played by each player before the final, add the matches won and lost: 3 wins + 2 losses = 5 matches.
Step 4: The final match is an additional match played by both players, so we add 1 more match to the total.
Step 5: Now, add the matches played before the final to the final match: 5 matches + 1 final match = 6 matches.
