Ocsar and his little brother made up a game using coins. They flip the coin towards a cup and receive points for every one that makes it in. Oscar starts with 20 points, and his little brother starts with 18 points. Oscar gets 2 points for every successful shot, and his brother, since he is younger, gets 3 points for each successful shot. Eventually, the brother will have a tied score in the game. How many additional shots will each brother have made? How many points will they both have? ​
