Sorry, here's another problem that I can't solve.
The cross-country teams of East High and West High run against each other twice each fall. At the first meet, East's score was two thirds of West's score. At the second meet, East's score increased by seven points and West's score decreased by seven points. In the second meet West's score was three less than East's score. How many points did each team score in each meet?
I tried this equation:
2/3w + 7 - 3 = w - 7
But I can't get an answer.

Code:
1st Meet 2nd Meet
East 2/3w 2/3w + 7
West w 2/3 + 7 - 32/3w + 7 - 3 = w - 7
But I can't get an answer.
. Solve you requation and get w=33, then 2/3 of 33 is 22.
