Over a season in a women's basketball league Jackson scored 42 more points than the second-highest scorer, Leslie. Together, Jackson and Leslie scored 1144 points during the season. How many points did each player score
over the course of the season?

Sagot :

First, you know that Jackson (let call her J) scored 42 more points than L (Leslie).  What we don't know is how many points L scored so we can use a variable that will be 'x'.

So the equation will be J=42+x.

We also know that the total points is 1,144.

To find out what x is we first subtract 1,144-42.  We then get 1,102.

We are now left with 2x and 1,102 so we divide 1,102 by 2 and get 551.

551=x so now we can plug that in.

J = 551 + 42

Jackson scored 593 points and Leslie scored 551 points
