To solve this you'll want to set up a system of equations.

Since there were 1470 points scored total, and 470 of them were from 1 point baskets, that means 1470-470 = 1000 points were scored by 2 and 3 point baskets. Assuming x = the number of 2 point baskets scored and y = the number of 3 point baskets scored, that gives us an equation of 2x + 3y = 1000.

We also know that there were a total of 440 2 or 3 point baskets scored. Using x and y as defined before, we get an equation of x + y = 440.

To solve this, we can use substitution. Let's solve for x in terms of y for the second equation.

So x + y = 440. If we subtract y from both sides, we get x = 440 - y. Now we substitute 440 - y for x in the first equation.

2*(440-y) + 3y = 1000. Now we simply solve the equation.
880 - 2y + 3y = 1000.
880 + y = 1000.
y = 120.

So 120 of the baskets scored were 3 point baskets.

If we want to solve for x, we can substitute in the known value of y to the first equation
x + 120 = 440.
x = 320.

So 320 of the baskets scored were 2 point baskets.

5<br> x<br> +<br> 2<br> y<br> =<br> 26<br> 3<br> x<br> +<br> 2<br> y<br> =<br> 14
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x = 6, y =-2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2y = 26

3x+2y = 14

Subtract the two equations to eliminate y

5x+2y = 26

-3x-2y = -14

---------------------

2x       = 12

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 12/2

x = 6

Now find y

3x+2y = 14

3*6+2y = 14

18+2y = 14

Subtract 18 from each side

18+2y-18 =14-18

2y = -4

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -4/2

y = -2
