Question

At a basketball game michael made 30 baskets. He scored a total of 67 points. How many of the points were two pointers and how many were three pointers?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

x = 2 points and y = 3 pointers

x + y = 30......x = 30 - y

2x + 3y = 67

2(30 - y) + 3y = 67

60 - 2y + 3y = 67

-2y + 3y = 67 - 60

y = 7 <====== 7 three pointers

x + y = 30

x + 7 = 30

x = 30 - 7

x = 23 <====== 23 two pointers
