The equation:
x + x + 26 = 74
x - games lost
x + 26 - games won
74 - total games
x + x + 26 = 74
2x + 26 = 74
2x = 74 - 26
2x = 48
x = 48 / 2
x = 24 = games lost, since x is the number of games lost.
The team lost 24 games and won 50 (24 + 26):
24 + 50 = 74 games.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
