Let x represent a 2-point basket, and y represent a 3-point basket.
Basket equation: x + y = 16
Point equation 2x + 3y = 39
Solve using system of equations:
if x + y = 16, then x = 16 - y
Plug into the second equation:
2(16-y) + 3y = 39
32 - 2y + 3y = 39
32 + y = 39
y = 7
So the number of 3-point baskets scored was 7. Hope this helps, let me know if there’s a step you don’t understand! :)
