Answer:

They make <u>31</u> two point shots and <u>6</u> three point shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The meridian girls basketball team scored a total of 80 points in a basketball game.

Now, to find the two point shots and three point shots they make.

Let the 2 point shots be x.

And let the 3 point shots be y.

So, the total baskets:

x+y=37

x=37-y  ....(1)

And, the total points:

2x+3y=80

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

2(37-y)+3y=80\\\\74-2y+3y=80\\\\74+y=80

<em>Subtracting both sides by 74 we get:</em>

<em />y=80-74<em />

<em />y=6<em> </em>

<em>The 3 point shots = 6.</em>

Now, substituting the value of y in equation (1):

x=37-y\\\\x=37-6\\\\x=31.

<em>The 2 point shots = 31.</em>

Therefore, they make 31 two point shots and 6 three point shots.

Answer:

My earlier answer was deleted, so I'm reposting.  The only thing I can think happened is that I included a link to a free bar chart program, which I used for the attached chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make your own chart or find an online bar chart utility.  I was unable to properly label the title and axes on my chart, so modify these properties.
