--------------------------------------------------
okay so what you need to do for a kind of guess and check solution would be to divide 141 by 2.
141/2=70.5
so lets say that they won 70 and lost 71 so then you need to figure out how you can have 13 fewer wins than losses.
so
70 and 71 difference of 1
69 and 72 difference of 3
68 and 73 difference of 5
67 and 74 difference of 7
66 and 75 difference of 9
65 and 76 difference of 11
64 and 77 difference of 13
so that would mean that they won 64 games and lost 77 games.
77-64=13
i know its not the right way to get the answer, its just guess and check but i still got the answer for you. lol
