Question

In a basketball game tatiana made 23 baskets. each basket was worth either 2 or 3 points, and tatiana scored a total of 53 points let x represent the # of 2 point baskets and y represent the # of 3 point baskets made. write a system of equations to represent the situation

Answer 1

X+y=23 (x and y added equal the number of baskets made)
2x+3y=53 (since each basket is worth a certain amount of points, x and y must be multiplied by their amount of baskets and added together to get the total number of points)
Hope this helps!
