Question

Elise and Henry, the boy she was babysitting, were playing basketball together. Her score was 26 points, and his score was 12 points. Elise wanted to make the game more fair, so she called a time-out and modified the rules a bit. Elise explained that, for the rest of the game, she would get 2 points per basket, and Henry would get 9 points per basket. Then they played a bit longer. After the time-out, they both made the same number of baskets and ended up with a tied score. How many points did each person have at the end? How many baskets did each person make after the time out?

Answer 1

Each of them made 2 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

26+2+2=30

12+9+9=30
