Kellys basketball team made a total of 33 two point and three point baskets in their game last week.If her team scored a total of 72 points how many two point baskets did they make.Define x and y variables and write system of equation
let x--------------------- > two point baskets y--------------------- > three point baskets 2x+3y=72 x+y=33--------- > y=33-x 2x+3*(33-x)=72 -------------- > 2x+99-3x=72 ------ > -x=72-99-> x=27 y=33-x=33-27=6
the answer is 27 two point baskets and 6 three point baskets
