Aminor 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?

W + L = 122
W = 3L + 14

3L + 14 + L = 122
4L + 14 = 122
4L = 122 - 14
4L = 108
L = 108/4
L = 27 <=== they lost 27 games

W = 3L + 14
W = 3(27) + 14
W = 81 + 14
W = 95 <=== they won 95 games

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
