We make [tex]w[/tex] an integer that represents the Sharks' wins, [tex]l[/tex] represent the losses, and [tex]t[/tex] represent the ties.
We know that [tex]w+l+t=66[/tex], [tex]w+l=59[/tex], and [tex]t+14=l[/tex].
We subtract the first two equations, to get [tex]t=7[/tex]. If we plug this into the third equation, we get [tex]l=21[/tex].
We plug this into the first equation and get [tex](w)+(21)+(7)=66[/tex]. Simplifying, we find that [tex]w=\boxed{38\text{ games}}[/tex].
