Explanation / Answer

Let the number of basebal games won and lost by the vteam be x and y respectively. Now, since the total number of basebal games played by the team is 156, hence x+y = 156…(1). Further, the team won 64 more games than they lost, so that x-y = 64…(2).

Now, to eliminate y,on additionn of the 2 equations, we get (x+y)+(x-y)= 156+64 or, 2x = 220 so that x = 220/2 = 110. Thus, the team won 110 basebal games.
