MATH RADICALS

In our school we have a grade nine girls' basketball team and we are members of it. We have 2-3 practices a week and every Saturday morning we compete against other schools in St. John's. I, Nicole, play the position of guard and Sarah plays forward. This is our first year competing on a basketball team. We enjoy this sport but we would both prefer to play soccer. The majority of our friends are on the team. The season has started and below are the scores of all the games we have played so far...

2 points = win, 1 point=tie 0 points=loss
How many points do we have so far out of all the games that we have played?

Hi my name is Mike. I am in grade nine at St.Paul's school. My favorite sport is basketball. In school we used to have a basketball team but now we don't because no one showed up to the practices. Some day I would like to play in the NBA but if I don't make it I'll be happy with college.
Here is my problem: If I play in twenty games a season for three years and I average 32 points a game, in four and a half seasons how many points will I have in all?
