Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Tigers played 50 games in total. Let's denote the number of games they lost as L. Since they won 6 more games than they lost, they won L + 6 games. The total number of games is the sum of wins and losses, so L + (L + 6) = 50. Solving this equation for L gives 2L + 6 = 50, 2L = 44, and L = 22. Therefore, they lost 22 games.
