84 -14 to find out how many games they lost to find how many games they played add how many games were lost and how many games they won which is 84+60=154

If we know that team won 84 games and its 14 more than they lost we can find number of lost game by calculating 84-14=70 - number of games lost
To find number of played match we can just add won and lost games
84+70=154
