Answer:
Carmen's score is 75 strokes.
Linda's score is 81 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of Linda be "x".
It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.
Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).
The total score of the girls is
= [tex]x + (x-6) = 2x-6[/tex]
The total score is given to be 156.
Thus, the equation becomes,
[tex]2x-6 = 156[/tex]
[tex]2x= 162[/tex]
[tex]x = 81[/tex]
Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.
