Answer:

The equation is in the form 268 = L + 225 and the points of left - handed shots are 43 .

Explanation:

As given

Eloise scored a total of 268 points during the basketball season.

Of her total points, L points came from left-handed shots.

She scored 225 points with right-handed shots.

Than the equation becomes

Total points = Left handed points + Right handed points

268 = L + 225

Solving the equation

L = 268 - 225

L = 43

Therefore the equation is in the form 268 = L + 225 and the points of left - handed shots are 43 .
