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.
Cameron scored:
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.
