Solution

Let $x$ be the number of points of the winning group and $y$ be the other group respectively.
The number of points the winning group has achieved is equal to the number of points of the other group, increased by $13$
$x = y + 13$
Insert $y = 72$ into the equation:
$x = 72 + 13$
Add the numbers
$x = 85$
The number of points of the winning group is $85$ .
