Answer:

x=y-44 and x+y=410

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to use the equations x=y-44 and  x+y=410 when x is Ann's score and y is Ruth's score. This is because x (Ann's score) is Ruth's score (y) but 44 less, so you subtract y-44 to get x. Then x+y would also have to equal 410 so that's the other equation. Graphing the 2 equations gets you to the point  (183,227) in which Ann's score is 183 points and Ruth's score is 227 points.
