Answer 1

they are tied at the end of the first half

huskies=x points and bisons=x points

second half

huskies=48 points and bisons=2x points

huskies won by 12 points

huskies total points=48+x

bisons total points=2x+x

huskies won by 12 points

48+x=12+2x+x

48+x=12+3x

48-12=3x-x

36=3x

x=18 points

huskies=66 points and bisons=54 points
