Problema Solution

A baseball team played 177 complete games last season. They had 33 fewer wins than losses. How many games did the team win?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the number of wins, then 'x+33' represents the number of losses


177 = x + x+33

144 = 2x

x = 144/2 = 72


the team won 72 games
