Question

In a recent basketball game, the

Slammers made 48 shots for a
total of 107pts.
If only two-point and three-
point shots were attempted,
how many of each type did the
Slammers make?
Can someone give me the answers for the number of 2 points shots and number of 3 points shot

Answer 1

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11

Explanation:

Given that:

Let number of

2 points = x ; 3 points = y

x + y = 48 - - - (1)

2x + 3y = 107 ---(2)

x = 48 - y

Then ;

2(48 - y) + 3y = 107

96 - 2y + 3y = 107

96 + y = 107

y = 107 - 96

y = 11

From (1)

x = 48 - 11

x = 37

2 points throw = 37

3 points throw = 11
