The tigers won 8 games more than they lost, and their were no ties. If the tigers played 78 games, how many games did they lose?

Question

The answer has to start with an inequality

Answer 1

Let x = number of games lost. Then x + 8 = number of games won.

So, x + (x + 8) = 78

2x = 70

x = 35

They lost 35 games and won 43.

Answer 2

W = L + 8

W + L = 48

L + 48 + L = 48

Can you solve for L and answer?
