Question 366130
Let
W = number of wins
and
L = number of losses
Now we translate the English facts into algebra...
W = 2 + 3L  (two more than three times what they lost)
W + L = 82  (since there are 82 games total)
Let's substitute the first equation into the second and get
(2 + 3L) + L = 82
2 + 4L = 82
Now subtract two and get
4L = 80
Divide by four...
L = 20
Subtract from 82 games...
W = 62
They won 62 and lost 20.
