Ok so in order to do this, you have to set up an equation. Let's make a=the score of the first test and b=the score of the second test. (You can choose different variables, it doesn't matter.) It says the sum of the two equals 170. So, a+b=170. It also says that the score of the first was 6 less than the second. This can be shown as a=b-6. Now you can plug this in for a in your original equation. It will look like:
(b-6)+b=170
You can solve for b.
2b-6=170
2b=176
b=88
Since you want a, plug into either equation for b. I'll use the second one.
a=88-6
So, a=82
