At a basketball game, a team made 54 successful shots. They were a combination of 1 and 2 point shots. The team scored 88 points in all. Solve a system of equations to find the number of each type of shot.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

number of 1 pointers = 19

number of 2 point shots = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of 1 point shots be x

let the number of 2 point shots be y

x+y=54 (1)

x+2y=89(2)

Subtract (1) from (2)

y = 35

from (1)x = 54 - y = 54-35 = 19

checking : 19 + 35 = 54 ; and 19 + 2*35 = 89
