Question Help At a basketball game, a team made 51 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and
2-point shots. The team scored 83 points in all. Write and solve a system of equations to find the
number of each type of shot.
There were 2-point shots and 1-point shots.

19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of 1-point shots they made and y be the amount of 2-point shots they made then...

x+y=51

x+2y=83

We can solve this equation using elimination. In this case, we can eliminate x be subtracting the two equations.

-y=-32

Divide both sides by -1

y=32

Plug this back into the equation to solve for x

x+32=51

Subtract 32 from both sides

x=19

They scored 19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots.
