Answer:

$\bold{268=225+}l$

43

Explanation:

Given that:

Total points scored in basketball season, T = 268

Points scored from right handed shots, R = 225

Points scored from left handed shots =

To find:

To write an equation to describe the situation and find the value of
for left handed shots ?

Solution:

We know that the points can be scored in basketball either by right hand shots or by left hand shots.

In other words, we can say that:

Total points scored in basketball season = points scored from right handed shots + points scored from left handed shots

i.e.

$T = R + l\\\Rightarrow \bold{268=225+}l$

So, the equation is:

$\bold{268=225+}l$

Now, let us find the value of
from the above equation:

$l=268-225\\\Rightarrow \bold{l = 43}$

Number of points scored from left handed shots = 43
