Question

League baseball team plays 122 games in a season. If the team won 14 more than three times as many games as they​ lost, how many wins and losses did the team​ have?

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of games in a season = 122

The team won 14 more than three times as many games as they​ lost.

To find:

The number of wins and losses.

Solution:

Let the number of losses be x.

Then, according to the question

Number of wins = 3x+14

We know that,

Win + losses = Total number of games

`(3x+14)+x=122`

`4x+14=122`

Subtract 14 from both sides.

`4x=122-14`

`4x=108`

Divide both sides by 4.

`x=27`

Now,

Number of losses = 27

Number of wins
`=3* 27+14`

`=81+14`

`=95`

Therefore, the team won 95 games and they​ lost 27 games.
