Question

This year the boys' baseball team won 4 times as many games as it lost. The team played a total of 40 games. How many games did the team win?@kelliegirl33

Answer 1

w = won games
l = lost games

w + l = 40
w = 4l

now sub 4l in for w in the 1st equation

Answer 2

that will give you the # of lost games.....then subtract that from 40 and that will give you the number of won games.
