Question

The highest scorer of the​ women's basketball championship was Jessica Bradley. She scored 109 more points than Tina​ Harner, her teammate.​ Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1575 points. How many points did each player score during the​ championship?

Answer 1

tina harner scored 733 points

jessica bradley scored 842 points

Explanation:

b + h = 1575

h + 109 = b

plug the second equation into the first

h + 109 + h = 1575

2h + 109 = 1575

subtract 109 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficinet

2h = 1466

divide both sides by 2 to get h

h = 733
