Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x = one point shots
y = two point shots
1) Setup your equations.
x + y = 52
x + 2y = 89
2) Isolate a variable.
x = 52-y
3) Plug in.
(52-y) + 2y = 89
52 +y =89
y=37
4) Solve for x.
x = 52 -37
x=15
5) Check your answer.
15 + 2(37) = 89
15+74=89
89=89
37+15 = 52
52=52
