"A baseball team played 143 complete games last season. They had 29 more wins than losses. How many games did the team lose?"
x = number of losses
x + 29 = number of wins {they had 29 more wins than losses}
x + x + 29 = 143 {played 143 total games}
2x + 29 = 143 {combined like terms}
2x = 114 {subtracted 29 from both sides}
x = 57 {divided both sides by 2}
the team had 57 losses
