    Answer: The team's win-loss record that year is 1.7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games.

    Let x = the number of games that the

    Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.

    This means that the number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season would be x + 42.

    Total number of games played = sum of games won + sum of games lost. This is expressed as

    162 = x + 42 + x

    2x + 42 = 162

    2x = 162-42 = 120

    x = 120/2 = 60

    Number of games that the Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60

    The number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60 + 42 = 102

    The team's win-loss record that year

    would be wins/loses

    = 102/60 = 1.7
