Please help me do this someone.

Robert is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, he
made some three point shots and some free throws (worth one
point each). Robert made a total of 9 shots altogether and scored
a total of 23 points. Write a system of equations that could be
used to determine the number of three point shots Robert made
and the number of free throws he made. Define the variables that
you use to write the system.

The system of equations are;

a + b = 9 ———(1)

a + 3b = 23———(2)

Step-by-step Explanation: The variables used here are a and b. Where a represents the number of free throws and b represents the number of three-pointers.

From equation (1), what we have is the total number of shots he has taken altogether which is 9 shots in all. All 9 shots are an addition of free throws and three pointers (that is a + b).

In equation (2), what we have is the points obtainable times the number of shots taken (for each shot). This means if a is a free throw, then 1 times a is equal to number of free throws times 1. Similarly, if b is a three-point throw, then 3 times b is equal to the number of three pointers thrown times 3.

The solution to the equation above gives us,

a = 2 and b = 7
