6 three point shots, 3 point shots

Anonymous · Answer

The student made 6 three-point shots and 3 two-point shots to score a total of 24 points from 9 shots. This was found by solving a system of equations based on the total points and total shots made. The equations used were x + y = 9 and 3x + 2y = 24, where x is the number of three-point shots and y is the number of two-point shots.
