So far they their winning ratio is $\"10%2F15\"$ . After x more games, their winning ratio would be $\"%2810%2Bx%29%2F%2815%2Bx%29\"$ , and this should be 0.75. Hence
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2810%2Bx%29%2F%2815%2Bx%29=0.75\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%2Bx+=+11.25%2B0.75x\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.25x+=+1.25\"$ , and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Thus they play 5 more games. \n" ); document.write( "
