Answer: The Tigers scored 42 and the Mustangs scored 45

Explanation:

Tigers made 6 baskets worth 3 points each & 12 baskets worth 2 points each

Mustangs made 5 baskets worth 3 points and 15 basket worth 2 points each

First you want to set up the equations for each

Tiger: (6x3) + (12x2)

Mustangs: (5x3) + (15x2)

Then you want to solve each equation in the parenthesis

Tigers: (18) + (24)

Mustangs: (15) + (30)

Finally you add them all up

Tigers: 42 points

Mustangs : 45 points
