Answer:
James' score: 28
Chris' score: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Call x James' score and y Chris'
James scored 4 times as many points as Chris
x = 4y
The 2 players scored a total of 35 points
x + y = 35
Replace x in the second equation with 4y (they are equal)
4y + y = 35 ===> 5y = 35 ===> y = 35/5 ===> y = 7
replace now this value in the first equation
x = 4y = 4*7 = 28
So James' score: 28, Chris' score: 7
