You can put this solution on YOUR website! "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}
