Question 462174
Let x be the number of games the team won. Let y be the number of games the team lost. Then x+y = 98
Because the team won 14 more than three times as many games they lost
x = 14 + 3*y

Substitute the value of x from the second equation into the first equation to get


(14 + 3*y) + y = 98
4*y = 98 -14
4*y = 84
y = 84/4
y = 21

so to get x we substitute y = 21 into the first equation to get
x + 21 = 98
x = 98 -21
x = 77
