FULL QUESTION:
The top scorer in the women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley, who outscored Tina Harner, her teammate, by 149 points. In total, Bradley and Harner scored 1563 points. Determine how many points each player earned during the championship.
Let T represent points by Tina Harner
J represent points by Tina Harner
Jessica scored 149 more than Tina. Thus;
J = T + 149...........(i)
Combined, they scored 1563 points, which gives;
J + T = 1563.........(ii)
How many points did both players score during the championship?
We need to find T and J.
Replacing J from equation (i) into equation (ii)
T + 149 + T = 1563
2T = 1563 - 149 = 1414
T = 1414 / 2 = 707
J = 707 + 149 = 856
Jessica Bradley - 856 Points
Tina Harner - 707 Points
