Abasketball team scored 31 points. the points were made up of three-pointers (3 points), feild goals (2 points), and foul shots (1 point). how many different ways could the team have scored 31 points?

If you let x represent the number of free throws (worth 1 point each)

         let y represent the number of two-point field goals (worth 2 points each)

         let z represent the number of three-point shots made (worth 3 points each)

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows:

x + 2y + 3z = 40         (The total number of points scored is 40.)

z = 3x - 22                  (The number of 3-pointers was 22 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)

2y = z + 11                 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 11 more than the number of 3-pointers.)

The solution is as follows:

This basketball player scored 9 points via free throws (9 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 15 points via 5 three-point shots made.

If helpful plz mark brainest thx!

use substitution to solve each system of equations. y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 62/87,21 y = x + 5 3x + y = 25 substitute x + 5 for y in the second equation. substitute the solution for x into either equation to find y. the solution is (5, 10)
