    The team won 32 games.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x = games won

    y = games lost

    z = total games = 40

    x = 4y Won 4 times as many games as it lost

    x + y = 40 Games won + games lost = Total games played

    4y + y = 40 Sub 4y in for x, as established previously

    5y = 40

    y = 8

    x = 4y

    x = 4 (8)

    x = 32

    The team won 32 games.
