Edward and his little brother made up

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