Hi,
a football team won 10 more games than {{{green(x)}}}lost. 
Total Games: x + (x+10)= 2x + 10 ***
if it won 7/9 of its games, how many did it play?
         {{{ (x+10) = (7/9)(2x+10)}}}
            9(x+10) = 14x+70
            9x + 90 = 14x + 70
                 20 = 5x
                  4 = x (games lost),  Total Games: {{{highlight(18)}}}
and CHECKING our answer***
{{{(7/9)18 = 14}}}
