During part of football, the local team has counted 6 points lower than the other team. The duex teams have counted a total of 66 points. What is the number of points scored by each?
========================================
local team=L
Away team = A
L=A-6
L+A=66
----------------
A-6+A=66
2A=66+6
2A=72
A=36
So the away team has 36 points and the Home team
L+36=66
L=30
===============
Local team = 30
Away team = 36
