Several games were played between two basketball teams: the Tigers and the Bears.
The Tigers won the first game by two points. A total of 90 points was scored during the game. How many points did each team score?
x + x+2 = 90
so, 44 to 46

44 to bears,46 to tigers
To find out how many points each team scored in the first game, we need to use the information provided.
Let's assume that the Tigers scored X points and the Bears scored Y points.
According to the statement, the Tigers won the game by two points. This means that X - Y = 2.
We also know that a total of 90 points was scored during the game. So, X + Y = 90.
Now we have a system of two equations:
X - Y = 2 --- (Equation 1)
X + Y = 90 --- (Equation 2)
There are multiple ways to solve this system of equations, but I will use the method of substitution.
From Equation 1, we can write X = 2 + Y.
Substituting this value of X in Equation 2, we get:
(2 + Y) + Y = 90
Simplifying the equation:
2 + 2Y = 90
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
2Y = 88
Finally, dividing by 2 on both sides:
Y = 44
Now, substituting this value of Y back into Equation 1:
X - 44 = 2
X = 46
Therefore, the Tigers scored 46 points and the Bears scored 44 points in the first game.
