Problema Solution

a minor league baseball team plays 104 games in a season. If the team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'w' stand for number of wins and 'l' stand for the number of loses.


w+l=104

w=3l+16


Using Algebrator to solve for 'l' and 'w', we get:

l=22

w=82
