Cameron and Jamal play for the same basketball team. During a game, Cameron scores p points and Jamal scores 21 points. If altogether the players score 75 points, how many points did Cameron score?(1 point) Cameron scored:
Let's call the number of points Cameron scored x.
We know that Jamal scored 21 points, so the number of points Cameron scored plus 21 equals 75.
Therefore, x + 21 = 75.
Subtracting 21 from both sides of the equation, we get x = 54.
So, Cameron scored 54 points. Answer: \boxed{54}.
