\left \{ {{S=14+L} (I) \atop {S+L=124}(II)} \right.

Substitute (I) into (II), we have:

S+L=124

(14+L)+L=124

14 + 2L = 124

2L = 124 - 14

2L = 110

L = (110)/(2)

\boxed{L = 55}

Replace (II) in (I), we have:

S=14+L

S = 14+ 55

\boxed{S = 69}

Answer:
each student sell:
Lori = 55 pizzas
Steve = 69 pizzas
