during a women's basketball championship game team a scored 5 more points than team b together, both teams scored a total of 159. how many points did the champion

Answer 1

a + b = 159

a= b+5

b+5 + b = 159

2b = 159-5 = 154

b = 154/2 = 77 points for team b

a = 77+5 = 82 points for team a

82+77 = 159
