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
