    Let's translate that to math

    becky's score (b) was (=) five less than (-5) cathy's score (c)

    their combined score (b+c or c+b) totaled 185 (185)

    so we have

    b=-5+c or b=c-5

    and we have

    b+c=185

    the 2 equations would be

    b=c-5 and b+c=185

    the answer is C
