Kerry scored a total of 205 points last season by making a total of 120 baskets. Some of the baskets were 1-point free throws (1), and the rest were 2-point field goals (g). Which pair of equations models this situation?​

Respuesta :

The number of 1-point baskets be 35 and the number of 2-point baskets be 85.

Given, Kerry scored a total of 205 points last season by making a total of 120 baskets.

Some of the baskets were 1-point free throws, and the rest were 2-point field goals.

Let the number of 1-point throws be, x

so the number of 2-point throws be, (120 - x)

According to the question,

1(x) + 2(120 - x) = 205

x + 2(120 - x) = 205

x + 240 - 2x = 205

240 -x = 205

x = 240 - 205

x = 35

So, the number of 1-point baskets be 35

and the number of 2-point baskets be 85.

Hence, the number of 1-point baskets be 35 and the number of 2-point baskets be 85.
