Question

The basketball team scored a total

Answer 1

Answer:

31 2-point baskets were made

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find how many of the 80 points were made with 2-point baskets by subtracting all the points gained through 3-point baskets. Since there are six 3-point baskets:

# of points through 2-point baskets = 80 - 6(3) = 80 - 18 = 62

To find the number of 2-point baskets that were made, divide the points by the worth of the basket:

# of 2-point baskets made = 62/2 = 31

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  31

Step-by-step explanation:

6×3 = 18 of the 80 points were from 3-point baskets, so the remaining 62 points were 2-point baskets.

  62 = 2b

  62/2 = b = 31

31 2-point baskets were made.
