Question

Could someone help? please
Michael and Kathryn bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. Michael’s score was 70 less than twice Kathryn’s. What were their scores?

-Kathryn: 275, Michael: 150
- Kathryn: 260, Michael: 165
- Kathryn: 165, Michael: 260
-Kathryn: 150, Michael: 275

Answer 1

m = 2k - 70
m + k = 425
(2k-70) + k = 425
3k - 70 = 425
3k = 495
k = 165
Katheryn had 165 & Michael had 260.
Your welcome :)
