Question

1-point free throw 2-point field goal he made 35 shots he scored 62 points how many of each shot does he make in 1 minute write the two equations for the problem

Answer 1

x + y = 35 equation 1

x + 2y = 62 equation 2

He made 8 1 point free throw

He made 27 2 point field goal

Explanation:

let x = 1 point free throw

y = 2 point field goal

two equations can be derived from the question

x + y = 35 equation 1

x + 2y = 62 equation 2

Subtract equation 1 from 2

y = 27

Substitute for x in equation 1

x = 35 - 27 = 8

He made 8 1 point free throw

He made 27 2 point field goal
