Question

In a basketball game, the bulldogs make a total of 21 shots. Some of the shots are 2-point shots while others are 3-point shots. The bulldogs score a total of 50 points. How many 2-point and 3-point shots did they make?

Answer 1

Lets set up 2 equations. Lets have r be 3 pointers and s be 2 pointers
So we have total points = 50 and total shots which equals 21
So r + s = 21
and 3r+ 2s = 50.
Do you see how I got ^ those equations?
