Question

A player scored 92 92 points in a single professional basketball game. he made a total of 58 58 ​baskets, consisting of field goals​ (worth two​ points) and foul shots​ (worth one​ point). find the number of field goals and the number of foul shots that the player made

Answer 1

Hello,

x → field goals
y → foul shorts
x + y = 58
+( -2x + y = 92 )
--------------------------
-x + 0y = -34
x = 34
y = 58 - 34 = 24
