You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Kings won two less than three times as many games as they lost. They played 82 games. How many wins and losses did the team have?
let the games won by kings be ....W
let the games lost by kings be ...L
3 times the games lost = 3*L
2 less than above = 3*L-2 = W
total games played =L+W = 82
L+3*L -2 = 82
4*L= 82+2 = 84
L = 84/4 =21
W = 82 - 21 = 61
