Abasketball player shot 70 times. the number
of missed shots was 6 more than the number of
baskets. how many baskets did the player make?

32 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of baskets and y be the number of missed shots. we can set up these two formulas:

x+6 = y

x+y = 70

we can replace y in the second formula with (x+6).

x+x+6 = 70

simplify: 2x+6 = 70

subtract 6 from each side: 2x = 64

divide each side by 2: x = 32

a28=58

step-by-step explanation:

a1=a1+(n-1)d

a28= 4+ (28-1)2

a28=4+(27)(2)

a28=4+54

a28=58
