Question 1081256: A minor league baseball team plays 129
games in a season. If the team won 17
more than three times
as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?
Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Games they lost: x
Games they won: 3x + 17
Total games played: 129
So if we add games lost and games won we should total 129:
x + 3x + 17 = 129
4x = 112
x = 28 <--these are the losses, and the wins:
3x + 17 = 3(28)+17 = 84+17 = 101 wins
