Writing the formula is easy, once you have made a clear definition of the variable you are going to use.
Let x be the number of games the team lost.
Then what is the expression for the number of games they won (17 more than 3 times the number they lost)?
Then what is the equation (not formula) that says the total number of games (won plus lost) is 117?
