Answer:
34 matches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Total football team = 18footbal teams
This means that each team will play 17 other teams. This is equivalent to 17matches for each team in the first match round.
This can be expressed as;
17matches = 1 round
To get the total number of matches played if each team plays two match against each of the team, then;
x matches = 2rounds
Divide both expression
17/x = 1/2
Cross multiply
x * 1 = 17 * 2
x = 34
Hence the total number of matches played is 34 matches
