To find out how many more points the Huskies scored than the Bobcats, we need to calculate the difference between the Huskies' score and the Bobcats' score.
The scores are given as:
- Bobcats: \( 2x - 7 \)
- Huskies: \( 5x - 3 \)
Now, we calculate the difference between the two scores:
\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Huskies' score} - \text{Bobcats' score} \]
Substituting in the expressions for the scores:
\[ \text{Difference} = (5x - 3) - (2x - 7) \]
Now, simplify the expression:
\[ \text{Difference} = 5x - 3 - 2x + 7 \]
Combining like terms:
\[ \text{Difference} = (5x - 2x) + (-3 + 7) \] \[ \text{Difference} = 3x + 4 \]
Thus, the Huskies scored \( 3x + 4 \) more points than the Bobcats.
