In leading their basketball team to victory, Kylie and Shaniqua were the top two scorers in the championship game. Using the following clues, determine how many points each girl scored:

  • If you subtract two times Kylie's points from three times Shaniqua's points, the difference is less than six.
  • Shaniqua scored at least as many points as nine more than one-fourth of Kylie's points.
  • Kylie scored fewer than 20 points.

    • Remember that in basketball you can only score whole numbers of points.
