Question 954736
Over a season in a women’s basketball league Jackson scored 44 more points that the second-highest scorer, Leslie. Together Jackson and Leslie scored 1156 points during the season. How many points did each player score over the course of the season?
--------------
Leslie score:: x points
Jackson score:: x+44 points
------
Equation:
x + x+44 = 1156
2x = 1112
x = 556 (Leslie score)
x+44 = 600 (jackson score)
