A minor league baseball team plays 119 games in a season. if the team won 15 more than three times as many games as they lost how many wins and losses did they have?
------------------
Let # of losses be "x":
Then # of wins = 3x+15
-----------------------
Equation:
x + 3x+15 = 119
4x = 104
x = 26 (# of wins)
3x+15 = 93 (# of losses)
