Bobcats scored 2x - 7 points

Huskies scored 5x - 3 points

Assuming Huskies scored more than Bobcats, the difference between them is:

D =(5x - 3) - (2x - 7)

Operating:

D = 5x - 3 - 2x + 7

Recall the negative sign changes the signs of the parentheses' contents.

Simplifying:

D = 3x + 4

The Huskies scored 3x + 4 more points than The Bobcats
