each, and four free throws worth 1 point each.
If x represents the number of 3-point field goals and y represents the number of 2-point field goals, complete the equation below to model Deldra's points in Friday's game.
=27​

Answer 1

`3x+2y+4=27`

Explanation:

Let

x ----> represents the number of 3-point field goals

y ----> represents the number of 2-point field goals

we know that

The number of 3-point field goals multiplied by 3 plus the number of 2-point field goals multiplied by 2 plus the number of free throws (4) multiplied by 1, must be equal to 27 points

so

The equation that represent this situation is

`3x+2y+4=27`
