Problema Solution
Anya makes 14 baskets during her game. Some of the baskets were 2 pointers and others were 3 pointers. In total, she scored 30 points. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many 2 point and 3 point baskets she made.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of 2 pointers
y = the number of 3 pointers
Anya makes 14 baskets during her game
x + y = 14
tn total, she scored 30 points
2x + 3y = 30
the system of equation that we need to solve is
x + y = 14
2x + 3y = 30
by solving we find
x = 12 baskets 2 pointers
y = 2 baskets 3 pointers
