Question 51349: One number is 5 more than another. five times the smaller equals 4 times the larger. Find the numbers.
The Colts played 76 games. They one 3 games as many games as they lost. How many did they win? Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For your second problem, did you mean that they "won three times as many games as they lost"?? If so, then let x = number of games they lost.
Let x = number of games lost
3x = number of games won
x+ 3x = 76
4x = 76
x= 19 games lost
3x = 3(19) = 57 games won
