The basketball team score points by making baskets work different numbers of points during a game the team made six baskets worth 3 points each The teammate 21 baskets worth 2 points each The team scored 16 points by making baskets worth 1 point each The equation can be used to find p the total number of points the basketball team score during the game p equals 6 (3) + 21(2) + 16 what is the total number of points of basketball team score during the game

Answer 1

To find the total number of points the basketball team scored during the game, we can use the equation you provided:

\[ p = 6(3) + 21(2) + 16(1) \]

Now, let's calculate each term:

1. For the baskets worth 3 points: \[ 6(3) = 18 \text{ points} \]

2. For the baskets worth 2 points: \[ 21(2) = 42 \text{ points} \]

3. For the baskets worth 1 point: \[ 16(1) = 16 \text{ points} \]

Now, we can add these points together to find the total:

\[ p = 18 + 42 + 16 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ p = 18 + 42 = 60 \] \[ p = 60 + 16 = 76 \]

So, the total number of points the basketball team scored during the game is 76 points.
