For this case we have to:

x: Variable that represents the points scored by Bev

y: Variable that represents the points scored by Ike

According to the data we have:

$x = 540\\x = y + 158$

We substitute the first equation in the second one:

540 = y + 158

We clear the variable "y":

$y = 540-158\\y = 382$

So, Ike scored 382 points.

Answer:

Ike scored 382 points.
