The ravens won three more games than they lost.they played 96 games.how much games did they win?

Answer 1

$x-the \ number \ of \ games \ won \ \\\\ y-the \ number \ of \ games \ lost \\\\ x= y+3 \\\\ x+y=96 \\\\ 3+y+y=96 \\\\ 3+2y=96 \\\\2y=96-3\\\\2y=93 \\\\ \boxed{y=\frac{93}{2}=46.5\approx46\ games \ lost} \\\\ x=3+46 \\\\ \boxed{x=49 \ games \ win}$
