The number of infielders on a baseball team is one less than three times the number of pitchers. if there are eleven infielders, how many pitchers are there?

Respuesta :

let the number of pitchers be x

 pitchers = x
infielder = 3x - 1

There are 11 infielders
3x - 1= 11
3x = 11 + 1
3x = 12
x = 4

There are 4 pitchers
