Question

Eduardo scored 29 points in his last basketball game. He only scored 2-point field goals and 3-point feild goals. If he made 12 field goals in the game, how many of each type did he make?

Let x represent the number of 2-point field goals and y represent the number of 3-point field goals.

its only asking for the equation, it says not to solve, please help i already got it wrong once

Answer 1

two*2+three*3=29
two+three=12
two is the number of two point shots
three is the number of three point shots.

two=12-three
(12-three)*2+three*3=29
24-2*three+3*three=29
three=5
two= 12-5=7

Answer 2

x+y = 12
2x+3y = 29
