Abaseball team loses twice as many games as it wins. the baseball season is 162 games long. how many games will the team lose?

The number of games will the team lose be 108 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A baseball team loses twice as many games as it wins.

The baseball season is 162 games long.

Let us assume that the number of games  baseball team wins be x .

Let us assume that the number of games  baseball team losses = 2x

Thus

2x + x = 162

3x = 162

x = 54

Number of games  baseball team losses = 2 × 54

                                                                    = 108

Therefore the number of games team loses are 108 .

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
