Answer:
3 points = 2
2 points = 6
1 point = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total point scored = 26
Let number of 3 point basket = x
Number of 2 point basket = x + 4
Number of free throws = x + x + 4 = 2x + 4
Hence,
Total 3 points = 3x
Total 2 points 2(x + 4)
Total free throw points = 2x + 4
3x + 2(x + 4) + 2x + 4 = 26
3x + 2x + 8 + 2x + 4 = 26
7x + 12 = 26
7x = 26 - 12
7x = 14
x = 2
Number of 3 points = x = 2
2 points = (x+4) = 2+4 = 6
1 point = (2x+ 4) = 2(2) + 4 = 8
Multiply and divide by the product of the denominators.
Answer:
2y = 3x + 21
y = 1.5x + 10.5
plug in, in the second equation
- 4x + (1.5x + 10.5) = 23
-4x + 1.5x + 10.5 = 23
-2.5x + 10.5 = 23
-2.5x = 12.5
x = 12.5/-2.5 = -5
y = 1.5 (-5) + 10.5 = 3
x = -5
y = 3
