<u>Answer:</u>

Swati - 465 , Matt - 289

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let Swati's score be x and Matt's score be y.

Since Swati won the game her score is obviously higher.

We are given the sum and difference between their scores which we can write as , x + y = 754 and x - y = 176.

Solving these two equations by adding them we get 2x = 930 so x = 465. Substituting x in x - y = 176 we get y = 289

Thus Swati scored 465 points and Matt scored 289 points.
