Answer 1

Answer:

B, 8 baskets worth 3 points each and 4 baskets worth 2 points each.

Answer 2

Answer:

8 baskets worth 3 points each and 4 baskets worth 2 points each

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 8 baskets worth 3 points each and 4 baskets worth 2 points each because it says Juarez scored twice as many baskets worth 3 points than the baskets worth 2 points. 4 x 2 = 8

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 baskets worth 3 points each and 7 baskets worth 2 points each : wrong because 7 x 2 = 14.

10 baskets worth 3 points each and 1 basket worth 2 points : wrong because 1 x 2 = 2.

4 baskets worth 3 points each and 10 baskets worth 2 points each: wrong because 10 x 2 = 40.
