Question

Noah is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, he made some two point shots and some three point shots. Noah made a total of 11 shots altogether and scored a total of 29 points. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of two point shots Noah made and the number of three point shots he made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.



Answer 1

x = number of two pointers

y = number of three pointers

x+y =11

2x +3y =29

2x +2y = 2(11)

y = 29 -22 = 7 three pointers

x = 11-7 = 4 two pointers
