A minor league plays 101 games,
They win 14 more than twice as many as they lost.
How many wins and loses?
Okay, simple.
First, write a simple addition equation. In this case wins = w and losses = l.
l + w = 101.
Now, we have to figure out a way to make one of the terms the same term as the other, in this case we can change the terms of w to l.
l = l
w = 2l +14 (14 more than twice the amount)
Okay. So plug in the new amount for w.
l + 2l + 14 = 101. Great! we now have a simple equation. lets solve.
put similar terms together.
3l + 14 = 101
3l = 87
l = 29
So, we have 29 loses, and
w = 2(29) + 14
72 wins!
To check,
72 + 29 = 101, correct!
Hope this helps!

Answer:
d. -7 1/8, -3.62, -1/2, 0, 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase in the rate of all rail season tickets to London = 4%
Price of the rail ticket from Cambridge to London increased by = 121.60
Let us assume the price before the increase in the fare = x
Then
4% * x = 121.60 dollars
(4/100) * x = 121.60 dollars
x/25 = 121.60 dollars
x = 25 * 121.60 dollars
= 3040 dollars
So the price of the ticket from Cambridge to London before the increase in price was 3040. I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand.
Wow...we have lots of numbers to go through. we know that a 6 sided figure is a hexagon and the interior angles add up to be 720°. so.....
∠A + ∠B + ∠ C + ∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 720°
(x - 60) + (x - 40) + 130 + 120 + 110 + (x - 20) = 720
3x + 240 = 720 (combined all like terms)
3x = 480 (subtracted 240 from both sides)
x = 160 (divided both sides by 3)
put the value of x into ∠A (x - 60) = 160 - 60 = 100
∠A = 100°
