Joshua is the place kicker for his college football team. Last season he kicked 42 times and never missed. Each field goal scored 3 points, and each extra point scored 1 point, for a total of 86 points.

How many field goals did Joshua kick?

your equations would be 3x+1y=86 and x+y=42
the answer would be 22 field goals and 20 extra points.
