Question

A basketball team scored 82 points
in a game. The players made no free
throws and the number of two-point
ifield goals was 2 more than 5 times the
number of three-point Shots.
How many of each Shot did they make​

Answer 1

Number of 3-point shots are 13 and number of 2-point shots are 69

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Let the number of 3-point shots be x, then the number of 2-point shots will be 5x + 2. Total points = 82. Form an equation to find x.

⇒ 82 = x + 5x + 2 = 6x + 2

⇒ 80 = 6x

∴ x = 80/6 = 13.33 ≈ 13

∴ 5x + 2 = 66.67 + 2 = 68.67 ≈ 69
