X - 3pt  baskets  (he reaches 3x points)
y - 2pt baskets  (he reaches 2y points)

We know, that  y=x+43

97 - 1 free throw = 97 - 1 = 96
Sum of points:  96

3x + 2y = 96.   Substitute  to "y"  an expression "x+43" :

3x + 2(x+43)=96
3x+2x+86=96
5x=10    |:5
x=2 

So y=x+43=2+43=45 

He has made 2  three points baskets and 45 two points baskets

Minimize Q=x^2+2y^2, where x+y=3
Studentka2010 [4]
<span>The first step you need to do is to rewrite
x+y=3
as y=3-x
</span><span>Now we can replace the y in the equation with our newfound value for y, which is
y=3-x.
So lets write it now like this
Q=x^2+2(3-y)^2
=x^2+18-12x+2x^2
=3x^2+18-12x
</span>Hope this helps
