You would just plug it in and solve for w.

p = 3w + d
50 = 3w + 14    -subtract the 14 from both sides
36 = 3w    - divide both sides by 3
12 = w

There were 12 wins. If they played 35 games, 12 were won and 14 were draw, you just subtract them from 35 and you get 9. The team lost 9 games.

Sub in the values and solve for W
50=3W+14
50-14=3W
36=3W
12=W
The team won 12 games.
12+14=26 (games drawn and won)
35-26=9
Therefore they lost 9 games

An ellipse has a vertex at (14, –1). The focus of the ellipse nearest that vertex is located at (8, –1). If the center of the el

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The right vertex is at (14, -1), and the center is at (-1, -1).
Therefore the semi-major axis is
a = 14 - (-1) = 15

The right focus is at (8, -1).
Therefore
c = 8 - (-1) = 9.

The distance of the directrix from the center is
d = c²/a = 9²/15 = 81/15 = 27/5.

Therefore the equation for the left directrix is
x = -1 - 27/5 = -32/5

Answer: x = -27/5
