Question

PLEASE HELP ME!

In a basketball game, Beth made 16 shots. Each shot was worth either 2 points or 3 points. Beth finished with a total of 39 points for the game. Let x represent the number of 2 point shots made, and let y represent the number of 3 point shots made. Write a system of equations to model the situation.
x + y = 16
2x + 3y = 39

x + y =39
2x + 3y =16

x + 3y = 16
2x + y = 39

2x + y = 16
x + 3y = 39

Answer 1

Answer is 39 Hope you did well on your work

Answer 2

A. x+y=16; 2x+3y=39

Explanation:

The total number of shots made is the amount of 2 points and 3 point shots made. The amount of points is the number of 2 point shots made (x) times 2 and the amount of 3 point shots made (y) times 3. So A is the answer
