Problema Solution

The Los Angeles lakers won 7 more games than they lost, the lakers played 82 games how many wins and loses did they have

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of games lost, then 'x+7' represents the number of games won


82 = x + x+7

solving for 'x' we have x=37.5


82-37.5=44.5


there is most likely an error in the problem statement since basketball games do not end in ties... this answer, however, indicates 44 wins, 37 loses and 1 tie
