Question

Chase is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, he made some free throws (worth one point each) and some two point shots. Chase scored a total of 12 points and made twice as many free throws as two point shots. Determine the number of free throws Chase made and the number of two point shots he made.

Answer 1

Answer:

free throws = 6

2 points shots = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we will have 2 incognitas.

x = number of free throws

y = number of shots of 2 points

x(1) + y(2) = 12

he says he made twice as many free throws as 2 points

x = 2y

2y(1) + y(2) = 12

2y + 2y = 12

4y = 12

y = 12/4

y = 3

x = 2y

x = 2*3

x = 6

free throws = 6

2 points shots = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

free throw =6

2 p.L. =3
