Well, we know that Lilly scored 4 more points than Bryson. So we could write that
Lilly's score = Bryson's score plus 4. Or L=B+4 Now we also know that
Lilly's score + Bryson's score = 180. So L+B=180 Now We can substitute in L in the second equation to get B+B+4=180 so B+B=176 and B=88 The we put B into the first equation and find that
L=92.

Answer : The score of Bryson and lilly is, 88 and 92 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the score of Bryson be, 'x'

So, the score of lilly will be,
x+4

Given:

Total score = 180

So, the equation will be:


x+(x+4)=180


2x+4=180


2x=180-4


2x=176


x=(176)/(2)


x=88

The score of Bryson = x = 88

The score of lilly = x+4 = 88+4 = 92

Thus, the score of Bryson and lilly is, 88 and 92 respectively.
