A basketball team scored a total of 97 points in a basketball game. They made a total of 42 two-point and three-point baskets. How many two-point baskets did they make? How many three-point baskets did they make? Let x= the number of two-point baskets Let y= the number of three-point baskets Equation for total number of baskets _____________________

Respuesta :

Therefore the number of two point baskets = 29 and three point baskets = 13.

What is the system of equations?

A set of equation that have a common factor that satisfies them

It is given in the question that

x = the two point baskets

y = the three point baskets

A basketball team scored a total of 97 points in a basketball game

2x +3 y = 97  

They made a total of 42 two-point and three-point baskets.

x +y = 42

y = 42- x

2x + 3(42-x) = 97

On solving we get x = 29

Two point baskets = 29

and y = 13

Three point baskets = 13

Therefore the solution of the given system of equations are two point baskets = 29 and three point baskets = 13.
