C represents the number of four-packs of cartridges because the question says there are 4 pack of 42 ounceink cartridges that sell for 85.99...If you were ever to create an equation with this it would be 42c = 85.99
And you can plug in 4, 8, or 16 for c and check how much they would cost over all...your welcome, have a great day
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
