Answer:

Kyrie score = 25

Steph score = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

In a basketball game, Kyrie scored 5 less than twice as many as Steph. Combined the two scored 55 points.

Let us assume Kyrie score as x.

Combined score = 55

Hence Steph's score = 55-x

Also given that Kyrie scored 5 less than Steph

So [tex]x+5 = 55-x[/tex]

Add x to both sides

[tex]2x +5 =552x =50x=25[/tex]

Hence answer would be

Kyrie score = 25

Steph score = 30

Verify:

combined score = 25+30 =55

and 30 = 25+5
