Question 10

Answer not submitted
A basketball team scored a total of 67 points from two- and three-point baskets. There were 17 two-point baskets made.

Select ALL the strategies that could be used to determine the number of three-point baskets.

Answer Choices

Subtract 17 from the 67 total points and then divide by 3.


Subtract the number of points from two-point baskets from 67; this would give the number of three-point baskets.


Let x = the number of three point baskets. Write an equation that represents the total points scored and solve the equation for x.


Since you know the number of points for two-point baskets, try different numbers for three point baskets until you find the amount that would give 67 total points.
