as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Games they lost: x
Games they won: 3x + 17
Total games played: 129
So if we add games lost and games won we should total 129:
x + 3x + 17 = 129
4x = 112
x = 28 <--these are the losses, and the wins:
3x + 17 = 3(28)+17 = 84+17 = 101 wins
