The basketball team won 28 more games than they lost. If they won 35 games, how many games did they play?

Thanks

35 - 28 = x

x + 35 = ?

42 To find out how many games the basketball team played, we need to determine the number of games they lost.

Since the team won 28 more games than they lost, we can subtract 28 from the number of games they won (35).

35 - 28 = 7

Therefore, the basketball team lost 7 games.

To determine the total number of games played, we add the number of games won and the number of games lost.

Games played = Games won + Games lost

Games played = 35 + 7

Games played = 42

Hence, the basketball team played a total of 42 games.
