Answer:

[tex] 7x - 4 [/tex] points

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more points the Dolphins scored than the Jaguars, we need to subtract the Jaguars' score from the Dolphins' score.

The Dolphins scored [tex]2x - 7[/tex] points, and the Jaguars scored [tex]-5x - 3[/tex] points.

So, the difference in their scores is:

[tex] = (2x - 7) - (-5x - 3) [/tex]

To subtract the second expression, we need to distribute the negative sign:

[tex] = 2x - 7 + 5x + 3 [/tex]

Now, combine like terms:

[tex]= (2x + 5x) + (-7 + 3) [/tex]

[tex]= 7x - 4 [/tex]

Therefore, the Dolphins scored [tex]7x - 4[/tex] points more than the Jaguars.
