The team lost n games.
The team won 8 more games than it lost, so it won n + 8.
The total number of games the team played was n + n + 8, or 2n + 8.
The team played a total of 24 games, so
2n + 8 = 24
We now solve for n.
2n + 8 = 24
2n = 16
n = 8 (lost games)
n + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16 (won games)
Answer: The team won 16 games and lost 8 games.
