Given:

Jamie and Marshall's team tied Shawna and Wyatt's team for the top team score.

Marshall scores 12 less than Jamie. Shawna scored twice as much as Marshall. Wyatt scored 4 less than Shawna.

To find:

The individual score of each person.

Solution:

Let x be the score of Jamie.

Marshall scores 12 less than Jamie.

Marshall score = x-12

Shawna scored twice as much as Marshall.

Shawna score = 2(x-12)

Wyatt scored 4 less than Shawna.

Wyatt score = 2(x-12)-4

Now,

Score of Jamie and Marshall's team =x+(x-12)

Score of Shawna and Wyatt's team =2(x-12)+2(x-12)-4

Jamie and Marshall's team tied Shawna and Wyatt's team

x+(x-12)=2(x-12)+2(x-12)-4

x+x-12=2x-24+2x-24-4

2x-12=4x-52

Isolate x.

2x-4x=-52+12

-2x=-40

Divide both sides by -2.

x=\dfrac{-40}{-2}

x=20

So, Jamie score = 20

Marshall score = 20-12

                        = 8

Shawna score = 2(20-12)

                        = 2(8)

                        = 16

Wyatt score = 2(20-12)-4

                     = 2(8)-4

                     = 16-4

                     = 12

Therefore, the scores of Jamie, Marshall, Shawna and Wyatt are 20, 8, 16 and 12 respectively.
