    The team has 92 wins and 38 losses.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a season 130 games are played by a baseball team.

    Let us assume that the team wins x games and losses y games.

    Therefore, we can write, x + y=130 ... (1)

    It is given that if the team won sixteen more games twice as many games as it lost.

    So, we can conclude that x = 2y+16 ... (2)

    Hence, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, (2y+16) + y = 130

    ⇒ 3y = 114

    ⇒ y = 38

    And from equation (2), x = 2*38 + 16 = 92

    Therefore, the team has 92 wins and 38 losses. (Answer)
