Your soccer team has won 6 games and lost 4 games. If the team does not lose any more games, how many games must the team win to have a win : loss ratio of 5 : 2 Explain your answer.

4 games

Step-by-step explanation:

The team has won 6 games and lost 4 games. The win--loss ratio at the moment must be:

= 6 : 4

This must be at its simplest form which is:

= 3 :  2

To take it to 5 : 2, we would have to take up the left side of the ratio by 2.

Because we simplified by using a factor of 2, we have to multiply the 2 we just calculated by the factor to find the number of games needed to be won:

= 2 * 2

= 4 games

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

add 8+12 to get a simplified answer of 12r-20
