    x = the number of games won

    y = the number of games lost

    A baseball team played 140 regular season games:

    x + y = 140

    The ratio of wins to lost was 5/2 means:

    x : y = 5 : 2 cross-multiply

    5y = 2x

    x + y = 140

    5y = 2x

    x = 100 games won

    y = 40 games lost

    The team won 100 games and lost 40 games.
