As per the problem,

Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points.

Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s.

Let the Dave's score be x and the Allan's score be y then

[tex] y=2x-60\\ [/tex]

Since total score for one game was 375 points.

[tex] x+2x-60=375 [/tex]

[tex] 3x=375+60\\\\3x=435\\\\x=145\\\\y=2*145-60=230\\ [/tex]

Hence their scores are 145(Dave) and 230(Allan) respectively.
