  Number of Gold medals won by USA are 9 and gold medals won by France are 2.

   Let the gold medals won by USA = x

And the gold medals won by France = y

It's given in the question "gold medals won by USA are 1 more than 4 times the number of gold medals won by France"

Therefore, equation for this situation will be,

x = 4y + 1 --------(1)

Second statement of the question states "USA won 7 gold medals more than France"

Therefore, equation will be,

x = y + 7 -------(2)

By substituting the value of 'x' in equation (1) from equation (2),

y + 7 = 4y + 1

4y - y = 7 - 1

3y = 6

y = 2

By substituting the value of 'y' in equation (1),

x = 4(2) + 1

x = 9

      Therefore, USA won 9 gold and France won 2 gold medals in the Winter Olympic Games.
