two friends enter a trivia challenge as a team. Fayth scored 200 more points than jamal. as a team, they collected a total of 2250 points.How many did each earn

Question

equations please and use the variable N

Answer 1

F+J = 2250

F=J+200

J+200 +J = 2250

2J = 2050

J = 1025 points for Jamal

F = 1225 for Faye

or

2250/2 + 200/2 = 2450/2 = 1225 for Faye

2250/2 - 200/2 = 2050/2 = 1025 for Jamal
