Answer 2

see below

Step-by-step explanation: 6 24 10 18

Leslie = x points

Jackson scored 38 more points than Leslie Jackson = x + 38 points

Together, Jackson and Leslie scored 1134 Sum of both scores

Leslie + Jackson = 1134

x + x + 38 = 1134 solve for x Leslie's number of points

2x + 38 = 1134

2x + 38 - 38 = 1134 -38

2x = 1096

2x/2 = 1096 / 1

x = 1096 /2

x = 548 Leslie points

Jackson = Leslie's points + 38 points

= 548 + 38

Jackson's points = 586 points
