Set up a system of equations:

s = 2d - 5
s + d = 43

Where 's' represents the number of points Stilt scored and 'd' represents the number of points Dunk scored.

Plug in 2d - 5 for 's' in the 2nd equation:

s + d = 43

2d - 5 + d = 43

Combine like terms:

3d - 5 = 43

Add 5 to both sides:

3d = 48

Divide 3 to both sides:

d = 16

Plug this back into any of the two equations to find 's':

s + d = 43

s + 16 = 43

Subtract 16 to both sides:

s = 27

So Dunk scored 16 points and Stilt scored 27 points.
