Question

A minor league baseball team plays 125 games in a season. If the team won 13 more than three times as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:x + 3x + 17 = 125

4x + 17 = 125

4x = 125 - 17

4x = 108

x = 108/4

x = 27

The team lost 27 games.

It won 3(27) + 17 games or 98 games
