You need to categorize this question better; it's not a graph, but rather, should be in a word problems group.
Let x = Games Tied.
Let x + 10 = Games Won.
x + 2(x + 10) = 62
x + 2x + 20 = 62
3x = 42
highlight%28x+=+14%29 games tied.
Therefore, 24 games won.
14 points for ties
48 points for wins
62 points total. OK.
