Question 289510: Define a variable and write an inequality. Then solve. A local summer baseball team plays 20 games each season. So far, They have won 9 games and lost 2.How many more games must they win this season to win at least 75% of all their games? I know the answer is 6 more games, but I need some help with graphing the problem.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x= number of games need to win to have 75% win
(.75*20)-9=x
The 2 games they lost is extra info meant to confuse the problem. Don't be confused
