e scored a total of 30 points and made 5 more three point shots than two point shots. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of three point shots made, x, and the number of two point shots made, y
The x variable represents the number of three point shots made and the y variable represents the number of two point shots made. Since the lines intersect at the point (8,3) we can say:
