At a basketball game, a team made 55 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and 2-point
shots. The team scored 93 points in all. Write and solve a system of equations to find the number of
each type of shot.
There were
2-point shots and
1-point shots.


Sagot :

x= one point shots
y = 2 pt shots
x+y= 55
x+2y= 93
subtract the second equation from the first
y= 38
substitute 38 for y
x+38=55
-38 -38
x = 17

check your answers:
17+ (2)(38) = 93
17+ 76 = 93
93 = 93

There were 17 one pt shots and 38 two pt shots
hope it helps and give brainliest answer please!
