Question

The Rangers played 40 games. They won 18 more games then they lost. How many games did they win?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

29

Explanation:

Let w represent the number of wins. Then the number of losses is w-18. The total number of games played is ...

wins + losses = 40

w + (w-18) = 40

2w = 58

w = 29

The Rangers won 29 games.
