Her team scored a total of 22+39 = 61 points. This is 8 points higher than the other team, so the other team scored 61-8 = 53 points.

As for which expression your teacher wants as the final answer, it will depend on how simplified you want it to be. You could have the following possible answers:

22+39-8
61-8

Other expressions may be possible as well.

Answer:

The answer depends on whether your teacher wants an algebraic expression or an arithmetic expression.

Algebraic might be:

s = g - 8

Arithmetic:

39 + 22 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

s (score) is the total number of points Ginny's team scored (g) minus 8 because Ginny's team scored 8 more than the other team.
