Jaxson is a high school basketball player. In a particular game, he made some free throws (worth one point each) and some two point shots. Jaxson scored a total of 18 points and made 3 more two point shots than free throws. Determine the number of free throws Jaxson made and the number of two point shots he made.

Jaxson made 4 free throws and 7 two points shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total points made by Jaxson = 18 points

Free throw = 1 point

Let,

x be the number of free throws

y be the number of two point shots

According to given statement;

x+2y=18     Eqn 1

y = x+3     Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 3

Putting x=4 in Eqn 2

Jaxson made 4 free throws and 7 two points shots.

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
