Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.
Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39
Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y
Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7
So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)
Think of sea level as 0 on number line
-13 + 6 - 15
Remember this:
Denominator multiplies with the whole number(number on the side) The sum of that plus the numerator will give you the value for the numerator in the improper fraction. The denominator will stay the same.
Now try it on your own!
12×2+7=numerator.
