Answer provided by our tutors
we will assume that there are only wins and losses
let
x = the number of wins
y = the number of loses
A baseball team played 145 complete games last season:
x + y = 145
They had 17 fewer wins than losses:
x = y - 17
by solving the system of equations:
x + y = 145
x = y - 17
we find:
x = 64 wins
y = 81 losses
