Answer:

MAKE MY ANSWER BRILLINEST PLEASE:)

Step-by-step explanation:

LET:

j = the points that Jessica scored

t = the points that Tina scored

Jessica scored 147 more points than Tina:

j = t + 1497

Together, Bradley and Harner scored 1601 points:

j + t = 1601

by solving the system of equations:

j = t + 147

j + t = 1601

we find

j = 856 points

t = 707 points

Jessica Bradley scored 856 point.

Tina Harner scored 707 points.
