Two minor league baseball players got a total of 300
hits. Washington had 14
more hits than Sanchez. Find the number of hits for each player.
A minor league baseball team plays 130
games in a season. If the team won 14
more than three times
as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?
If they lost x, then
x + 3x+14 = 130
A midwestern music competition awarded 28
ribbons. The number of blue ribbons awarded was 1
less than the number of white ribbons. The number of red ribbons was 2
more than the number of white ribbons. How many of each kind of ribbon was awarded?
this is just like the last one. Just write an equation for each statement. To start with,
r+w+b = 28

A minor league baseball team plays 71
games in a season. If the team won 14
more than twice
as many games as they lost, how many wins and losses did the team have?
just like the previous ball team question. You're not going to put in any effort?
To solve this problem, let's set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's say Sanchez had x hits.
According to the question, Washington had 14 more hits than Sanchez. So, Washington had (x + 14) hits.
The total number of hits for both players is 300. Therefore, the equation becomes:
x + (x + 14) = 300
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 14 = 300
Now, let's solve for x:
2x = 300 - 14
2x = 286
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 286 / 2
x = 143
So, Sanchez had 143 hits.
Now, let's find Washington's number of hits:
Washington = x + 14 = 143 + 14 = 157
Therefore, Sanchez had 143 hits, and Washington had 157 hits.
