14+x=84
x=70
The team lost 70 games.
84+70=x
154=x

For any arbitrary 2x2 matrices

and

, only one choice of

exists to satisfy

, which is the identity matrix.
There is no other matrix that would work unless we place some more restrictions on

. One such restriction would be to ensure that

is not singular, or its determinant is non-zero. Then this matrix has an inverse, and taking

we'd get equality.
Answer:
B should have been the winner. Since B received the majority of the votes, he should be the winner, not A, and it doesnt matter how close was the election or how cmany votes A got in reality. If B had more votes for 1st place, then it should be the winner, not A. I am assuming that there were electoral fraud and someone intentionally didnt count valid votes from B.
