3 0

Answer:

The numbers are 12 and 14 ONLY

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, set up an equation.

Set

equal to the lower number, and

as the higher number since they are consecutive even numbers so they are two apart.

Now write out the equation according to the question

(

(

)

340

Combine like terms.

340

Set equal to zero so you can factor.

−

336

(

−

because the answer must be positive according to the question.

That means

is 14.

During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games. They won 42 games more than they lost. What

DaniilM [7]

Answer: The team's win-loss record that year is 1.7

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games.

Let x = the number of games that the

Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.

This means that the number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season would be x + 42.

Total number of games played = sum of games won + sum of games lost. This is expressed as

162 = x + 42 + x

2x + 42 = 162

2x = 162-42 = 120

x = 120/2 = 60

Number of games that the Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60

The number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60 + 42 = 102

The team's win-loss record that year

would be wins/loses

= 102/60 = 1.7
