Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: Since Diego scored 11 more points that Travis, we can set Travis as x and Diego as x+11. Together they score 21 points, so we can set up the equation: Diego's points + Travis' points = 21, which is x+(x+11)=21. If we solve that equation, we get x=5. So Travis scored 5 points, and Diego scored x+11 points, which is 16.

The person score i.e. Diego is 16 and Travis is 5.

Given that,

  • Diego scores 11 more points than Travis.
  • Together they score 21 points.
  • Here we assume Travis be x and Diego be x + 11.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

x + x + 11 = 21

2x = 21 - 11

2x = 10

x = 5

So

= x + 11

= 5 + 11

= 16

Therefore we can conclude that The person score i.e. Diego is 16 and Travis is 5.
