8 shots in all and three times as many 2-pointers than 3-pointers, so she made six 2-pointer shots in total

it is correct because six 2-pointers and two 3-pointers makes eight shots in total, and you said she made 3 times as many 2-pointers than 3-pointers. 2x3=6. :D

O.o
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
x = 2 point shots
y = 3 point shots
x + y = 8
3y = x
now we sub
3y + y = 8
4y = 8
y = 8/4
y = 2
3y = x
3(2) = x
6 = x
she made 6 two point shots and 2 three point shots
