Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of points the 5 girls scored.
=> 41 - x is the number of points the 2 boys scored.
We have x + 29 = 41 - x or x - 29 = 41 - x.
=> 2x = 12 or 2x = 70
=> x = 6 or x = 35
We reject x = 6 as 6 is not a multiple of 5. (Each girl would have scored 1.2 points which is absurb)
So x = 35, each girl scored 35/5 = 7 points.
=> 41 - (35) = 6, each boy scored 6/2 = 3 points.
