Cameron and Jamal play for the same basketball team During a game Cameron scores p points and Jamal scores 21 points if altogether the players score 75 points how many points did Cameron score.

Question

Cameron scored:

Answer 1

Let's assume Cameron scores x points.

Since Jamal scores 21 points, the total score of both players is x + 21.

According to the given information, the total score is 75.
Therefore, x + 21 = 75.

Subtracting 21 from both sides, we get x = 75 - 21.

Simplifying the equation, we find x = 54.

Therefore, Cameron scored 54 points.
