Question

At a basket ball game, team made 56 successful shots they were of 1-and 2- point shots. The team scored 94 points in all. Use elimination to solve the system of equations to find a number of each type of shot.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let No.of shots for 1 point be x

no. of shots for 2 points be y

according to the question,

x+y=56

let the above equation be 1

x+2y=94

let the above equation be 2

subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation, we get,

y=94-56=38

x=56-38=18

Therefore, no of 1 point shots are 18 and no. of 2 point shots are 38
