Question

A basketball team scored 102 points in a game. Each basket is 2 points and each free throw is 1 point. Write a standard for equation for the total number of points scored using x for baskets and y for free throws

Answer 1

Answer: the equation is 2x + y = 102

Answer 2

The equation representing the Total number of points is
`2x+y=102`.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Point scored = 102

Let Number of basket scored be 'x'

Let Number of free throws be 'y'

Total Point Scored will be equal to sum of Number of basket scored multiplied by point scored in basket and Number of Free throws multiplied by point scored in free throws.

Framing the equation we get;

`2x+y=102`

Hence The equation representing the Total number of points is
`2x+y=102`.
