Answer 1

Let's assume the number of points Cameron scored is x.
Then the total number of points Cameron and Jamal scored is x + 21.
We also know that the total points scored by Cameron and Jamal is 75, so x + 21 = 75.
Subtracting 21 from both sides of the equation, we get x = 75 - 21 = 54.
Therefore, Cameron scored 54 points.
