Answer 3

let x = total number of games it played

You are given in the directions

40% of x is 8

we can rewrite that as the equation

.40*x = 8

solve for x

Answer 4

ignore my first reply ( i read the question too quickly)

Answer 5

Let games played be X
so 40% of X = 8.
That's give you the games played. Subtract 8 from it and you have games lost.
