A company is recruiting talents and conducting three tests on reading ability, thinking ability, and expression ability for each candidate. The test scores (in percentage) of two candidates, A and B, are as follows: (unit: points)

| Candidate | Reading Ability | Thinking Ability | Expression Ability |
|-----------|-----------------|------------------|---------------------|
| A         | 93              | 86               | 73                  |
| B         | 95              | 81               | x                   |

(1) If based on the three tests, find the average score of candidate A.

(2) If the company determines the total score of each person based on the test scores of reading, thinking, and expression abilities in a ratio of 3:5:2.

1. Calculate the total score of candidate A.
2. If the total score of candidate B exceeds that of candidate A, by how many points does candidate B's expression ability score x exceed?
