The ratio of games won at to the games lost for a basketball team is 3: 2. the team won 18 games. how many games did the team lose ?

A ratio of 3:2.

The easiest way to go about this is to divide the actual number of wins (18) by its corresponding element in the ratio.

So:

This means every element on the ratio has a value of 6.

The amount of element in the ratio that correspond to losses is 2.

Multiply the actual amount of matches per element in the ratio by the number of elements that represents the losses in the ratio.

Your

"The team lost 12 games."

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
