Answer:

70 points

Explanation:

Emily scored 40, Laura scored twice the amount that Emily scored so that's 40 x 2 which equals 80. Then, take 10 points away and that makes the answer 70 points.

40 x 2 = 80

80 - 10 = 70

if emily scored 40 points, 40 times 2 equals 80, and 80 minus 10 equals 70 points because she scored 10 LESS than DOUBLE the amount of points emily had
