Question

Farrah scored 42 points during a recent basketball game. She made only 2-point shots and 3-point shots. In total, Farrah made 19 shots. Create two different equations that model the number of 2-point shots, x, and the number of 3-point shots, y, that Farrash made in the game.

Answer 1

for total points it would be 2x + 3y = the total amount of points she scored (she scored is 42)
for total shots it would be x + y = the total amount of shots she shot (which is 19)

Answer 2

hope that helps ^^''
