Answer:

Adam scored 25 points.

Bethany scored 30 points.

Charles scored 17 points.

Explanation:

A = Adam, B = Bethany, C = Charles

What we know:

C + 8 = A

A + 5 = B

A + B + C = 72

Charles:

C + 8 + 5 = B

C + (C + 8) + (C + 13) = 72

72 - 8 - 13 = 51

51/3 = 17

Charles scored 17 points.

Bethany:

17 + 13 = 30

Bethany scored 30 points.

Adam:

17 + 8 = 25

Adam scored 25 points.
