We are given the professional baseball team won = 84 games.

Let us assume the team loss = x games.

According to problem, "the team won 14 more games than it lost".

14 more than x could be given by expression " x+14".

Therefore, we can setup an equation

x+14 = 84.

Subtracting 14 from both sides, we get

x+14-14 = 84 -14

x = 70.

Team loss = 70 games.

Total number of games played = Number of games win + number of games loss.

= 84 +70 = 154 games.

Therefore, total 154 games were played.
