    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the first 3 innings they scored some runs, so we will call that number of runs x.

    In the rest of the game they scored 5 more than they did in the first 3 innings, so they scored x + 5 in the rest of the game.

    The total number of runs in the game is 9, so

    x + x + 5 = 9 and

    2x + 5 = 9 and

    2x = 4 so

    x = 2

    This is the number of runs they scored in the first 3 innings. This means that they scored 7 in the rest of the game.
