Answer 1

To find how many points Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant scored, set up equations based on the given information. Kevin Durant scored 2280 points and Kobe Bryant scored 2133 points during the 2012-2013 NBA regular season.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to determine how many points Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant scored individually during the 2012-2013 NBA regular season given that together they scored 4413 points and Kobe Bryant scored 147 fewer points than Kevin Durant.

To solve this, we can set up two equations based on the information provided:

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  

We can substitute the second equation into the first to find Durant's score:

1. 
   
3. D + (D - 147) = 4413
4. 
   
6. 2D - 147 = 4413
7. 
   
9. 2D = 4413 + 147
10. 
    
12. 2D = 4560
13. 
    
15. D = 4560 / 2
16. 
    
18. D = 2280

Now that we have Durant's score, we can use it to find Bryant's score:

1. 
   
3. B = D - 147
4. 
   
6. B = 2280 - 147
7. 
   
9. B = 2133

Therefore, Kevin Durant scored 2280 points and Kobe Bryant scored 2133 points during the 2012-2013 NBA regular season.
