<PRE><B>Question 986446</B>
 I need help with this word problem: In the 2012-2013 NBA regular season, the Miami Heat won two more than four times as many games as they lost. The heat played 82 games. How many wins and losses did the team have ? Thank you
------
# lost:: x
# won::: 4x+2
-----
Equation:
x + 4x+2 = 82
5x = 80
x = 16 (# lost)
4x+2 = 66 (# won)

Cheers,
Stan H.
