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! :)

A scatter plot showed a positive correlation for 11 bowlers. As the number of strikes, s, a bowler made in a game increased, the
almond37 [142]

Answer:

s = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the line of best fit for the data is p=25s+40.

Where p is no. of points and s is no. fo strikes

We need to find the number of strikes made by a bowler with 140 points.

Put p = 140

p=25s+40

140 = 25s+40

Subtract 40 to both sides,

140-40 = 25s+40-40

100 = 25s

⇒ s = 4

So, there are 4 strikes made by a bowler with 140 points.
