Answer:

(B) M - J = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the variables:

M = number of games that Mike won.

J = number of games that Jeanie won.

And we know that there is a total of 38 games played, then if a game can not end in a draw, we have the equation:

M + J = 38

Now we want to find the other equation needed to solve this problem:

We also know that Mike won 6 more games than Jeanie, this is written as:

M = J + 6

We can subtract J in both sides to get:

M - J = 6

This is the equation from option B, so we can conclude that the correct option is B.
