Question

A minor league baseball team plays 104 games in a season. If the team won 16 more than 3 times as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?

Answer 1

Games lost = x

Games won = 16 + 3x

Total games = 104

104 = (x) + (16 + 3x)

104 = 4x + 16

4x = 88

x = 22

Games lost = 22

Games won = 82

Hope this helps!! :)
