Team B scored 13 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total scores = 41 points
Let,
Team A = a
Team B = b
According to given statements;
a+b = 41 Eqn 1
As team A won by a margin of 15 points.
a = b+15 Eqn 2
Putting value of a from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
[tex](b+15)+b=41\\b+15+b=41\\2b=41-15\\2b=26[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 2;
[tex]\frac{2b}{2}=\frac{26}{2}\\b=13[/tex]
Team B scored 13 points.
