Craig = p points
Marla = 2p points
Nelson = 2p + 5 points

Hello!

Craig p= points scored
Marla 2p=points scored
Nelson 2p-5= points scored

Therefore with no numbers to use we just get an simple equation for Nelson’s score.

Nelson score= 2p+5 where p equals Craig’s score.

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thanks!
