Answer:

Each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of point scored by the 7 girls and 2 boys be x and y respectively.

Thus, since 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points, then;

7x + 2y = 64 - - - (1)

Also, difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 2 boys is 48. Thus;

7x - 2y = 48 - - - (2)

Add eq(1) to (eq 2) to get;

14x = 64 + 48

14x = 112

x = 112/14

x = 8

Put 8 for x in eq(1) to get;

7(8) + 2y = 64

56 + 2y = 64

2y = 64 - 56

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Thus,each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points
