x+2x=200-5

Runs scored by player B=65
Runs scored by player A=65*2=130

Answer 2

Given:

In a cricket match, player A scored twice the number of runs scored by player B. Together they fell short of 5 runs for a double century.

To Find:

The scores of A and B

Solution:

Let the runs scored by player B be "x"

This implies that the runs scored by player A will be "2x"

So, according to the question, in numeric terms it would be represented as

x+2x=200-5

3x=195

x=65

Runs scored by player B = x = 65

Runs scored by player A = 2x = 2(65) = 130

Hence, Player A scored 130 runs and Player B scored 65 runs.
