hold on looking
OpenStudy (dtan5457):
f + p = 42 (Total number of kicks)
3f + p = 86 (Total number of points)
Solve for p in the first equation
p = 42 - f
Now substitute that for p in the second equation
3f + (42 - f) = 86
Now just solve this equation for f
2f + 42 = 86
f = 22
Now we know f = 22, we can solve for p using either of the original equations
22 + p = 42
p = 20
Field goals = 22, Point after = 20
