Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of free throws = x
And the number of regular field goals = y
Total shots made by the team = 31
Equation for the shots will be,
x + y = 31 ------(1)
If the team gets 1 point for free throws and 2 points for a regular field goal,
x + 2y = 49 --------(2)
[total points gained by the team = 49]
1). Option (2) is the correct option.
2). Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),
(x + 2y) - (x + y) = 49 - 31
y = 18
Therefore, number of regular field goals made by the team = 18
