Answers

  1. Answer:
    The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the number of 2-point shots is 42
    Step-by-step explanation: x —-> the number of 1-point shots
    y —-> the number of 2-point shots
    we know that
    —-> equation A
    —-> equation B
    Solve the system by graphing
    Remember that the solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs
    using a graphing tool
    The intersection point is (15,42)
    therefore
    The number of 1-point shots is 15 and the number of 2-point shots is 42
