Ahigh school basketball team scores 85 points in a playoff game. the team leaders are greg and tremaine who scored a total of 38 points. if tremaine scored 8 more points than greg, how many points did greg and tremaine score individually?

Total Points scored by  team leaders are Greg and Tremaine=38 points

Let Points scored by Greg =x points

Then , Points scored by Tremaine =(x+8) points

So, writing the condition in equality form

   x +x+8=38

2 x =38-8

2 x=30

Dividing both sides by ,2

x=15

Points scored by Greg =15 points

Then , Points scored by Tremaine =(15+8)=23 points
