Question

Anaya makes 14 baskets during her game. Some of these baskets were worth two points and others were worth three points. In total she scored 30 points. Right and solve a system of equations to find out two points baskets she made

Answer 1

Answer:she made 12 two points basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of baskets that were worth two points.

Let y represent the number of baskets that were worth three points.

Anaya makes 14 baskets during her game.

This means that

x + y = 14

Some of these baskets were worth two points and others were worth three points. In total she scored 30 points. His means that

2x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 14 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(14 - y) + 3y = 30

28 - 2y + 3y = 30

- 2y + 3y = 30 - 28

y = 2

Substituting y = 2 into x = 14 - y, it becomes

x = 14 - 2

x = 12
