Answer:

x=93

y=161

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Alan runs=x

And

Ben runs=y

Condition

x+y=254 --------------(1)

y=68+x ---------------(2)

Putting eq 2 in 1

x+68+x=254

2x+68=254

2x=254-68

2x=186

Dividing both sides by 2

x=93

Now putting value of x in 2

y=68+93

y=161

Answer:

Ben=161

Alan=93

Step-by-step explanation:

let the runs made by Ben =68+x

let the runs made by Alan=x

Total runs made by them both=254

68+x+x=254

68+2x=254

2x=254-68

2x=186

x=93

so,

Alan=93  and Ben=68+93=161
