20.

Lets x = the small number

the large number is 15 more than the smaller number = x + 15

Sum of those 2 numbers = 121

So x + x + 15 = 121

2x + 15 = 121

2x = 106

x = 53

Small number = 53

Large number = 53 + 15 = 68

21)

Lets x = Caleb's points

Luke's points= fifteen less than twice the # of Caleb has = 2x - 15

They both have total 201

So x + 2x - 15 = 201

3x - 15 = 201

3x = 216

x = 72

Luke scored = 2(72) - 15 = 144 - 15 = 129 points
