Lamar 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. Lamar starts with 10 points, and his little brother starts with 20 points. Lamar gets 3 points for every successful shot, and his brother, since he is younger, gets 2 points for each successful shot. Eventually, the brothers will have a tied score in the game. How many points will they both have?

Answer:

If you add 3 to 18 it'll eventually lead to 24, as for 2 plus 20, if you add that up it also gets you to 24 which will make the game tied. And the tied score is 24.

Explanation:

Each brother will need 2 additional shots!
