    Preston has 19 games and Horatio has 30 games.

    You can set this as a system of equations, set Preston as x and Horatio as y.

    Both of the amounts add up to 49, so we can get the equation:

    x+y=49

    Since Horatio has 11 more games, we can get the equation:

    y-x=11

    If we add the x to the other side, the second equation becomes:

    y=x+11

    We can plug in the second equation into the first and get the equation:

    x+11+x=49

    with a little simplification, we get x (Preston) is equal to 19. If we add 11 to it, we get Horatio's amount: 30
