Ms. Maitner and Mr. Grote play each other in FIFA on Xbox 360. They score a total of 74 points. If Ms. Maitner scores 16 more points than Mr. Grote, what is the final score?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mr. Grote: 29, Ms. Maitner: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of points Mr. Grote scored

x + 16 = number of points Ms. Maitner scored

x + x + 16 = 74

x + x = 58

2x = 58

x = 29

29 + 16 = 45
