You can put this solution on YOUR website! A minor league team plays 100 games a season. If the team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have.
----------------
Equations:
W + L = 100
W = 3L + 16
--------------------
Substitue to get:
(3L+16) + L = 100
4L = 84
L = 21 games (# of losses)
--------
Since W + L = 100, W + 21 = 100; W = 79 (# of wins)
