Answer: 95 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The Bigtown football team outscored its opponents 5:2 last season.

Let x be the points scored by Bigtown.

The opponents scored 38 points.

Then, we have the following equation :-

[tex]\dfrac{x}{38}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5\times38}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5\times38}{2}=95[/tex]

Hence, Bigtown scored 95 points.
