Answer:

The score of fifth player is 10

Explanation:

Let the score of fifth player be x

In a game 4 players scored 6 points each.

So, total scores of 4 players =
6 * 4 = 24

Total score of 5 players = x+24

We are given that The team scored a total of 34 points.

So,
x+24=34


x=34-24


x=10

Hence The score of fifth player is 10
