well, let's say they lost "a" games.

ok, they won 14 more than that, so  they won "a + 14" then.

now, we know they played a total of 84 games, thus a + (a + 14) = 84

[tex]\bf a+(a+14)=84\implies 2a+14=84\implies 2a=70\implies a=\cfrac{70}{2} \\\\\\ a=35[/tex]

how did they play? well, they did alrite, could have done better I guess.
