Asked by Pam

A basketball player scored 18 times during one game. He scored a total of 35 points, two for each two point shot and one. For each free throw. How many two point shots did he make? How many free throws?
Answered by Steve
If there were x 2-pointers and y free throws, then we know

x+y = 18 (add the shots)
2x+y = 35 (add the points)

Now just solve for x and y.
