A team won 3 of their first 10 games. If they win the next "n" games, they will have won 50% of their games. What is the value of "n"? I know the answer is 4, but I'm really stuck on how to get it so please

Ok, so for me, (I'm sorry if this isn't the way that you were taught it), I just plugged in numbers for n.
3 + 1 is not 1/2 of 10 + 1
3 + 2 is not 1/2 of 10 + 2
3 + 3 is not 1/2 of 10 + 3
BUT 3 + 4 IS 1/2 of 10 + 4 (7 and 14)
