a minor league baseball team plays 77 games in a season. If the team won 17 more than twice as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have

let x=number of games lost
2x+17=number of games won
x+(2x+17)=77
3x+17=77
3x=60
x=20
2x+17=57
number of games lost=20
number of games won=57</PRE>
