QUESTION 1
4.76
A basketball team played 84 games and won 10 more games than it lost. Find the number of games the
team won.

The team won 47 games.

Step-by-step explanation: The total games played was 84, and that means all games added together, but victories and losses. If the games they lost is called X, and the team won 10 more games than it lost, then it means the games they won is X + 10.

To find the value of wins and losses, we can now express both properly as;

X + (X +10) = 84

2X + 10 = 84

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation

2X = 74

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

X = 37.

If the number of games won is X + 10, then games won is derived as

Wins = X + 10

Wins = 37 + 10

Wins = 47

The team won 47 games
