In last night’s basketball game, Sally scored 9 less than twice what Lucy scored. The sum of their scores is 27. How many points did Sally and Lucy make individually?

the equations are S+L=27 2*L - S = 9 where S is Sally score and L is Lucy score. Hence S = 2L-9 L + 2L - 9 = 27 3L=36 L=12, S=27-12 = 15 Lucy scored 12, Sally scored 15
