Write an equation to represent the total number of points scored during a game.

Question

i dont understand how im supposed to do this with a equation.

Answer 1

99 points scored in basketball

3 times as many 2 pointers as 3 pointers

x = 3y, 3y +2x = 99

x+2x = 99

x = 99/3 = 33 two pointers, 99-66)/3 = 33/3 = 11 three pointers''

x = 33 = 3y = 3(11)' total points 33x2 + 11x3 = 66+33 = 99
