In the basketball game, the Buffalo made a total of 25 shots. Some of the shots are 2- point shots while others are 3- point shots. If the Buffalo scored a total of 57 points, how many were 2-point shots?

Let's let x be the number of 3-point shots made.

Let's let y be the number of 2-point shots made.

So, then we have:

x+y = 25

And we have

3*x + 2*y = 57

So, we can solve this by substitution. Solving the first equation for x:

x=25-y

Now, plugging into the second equation:

3*(25-y) + 2*y = 57

Simplifying:

75-3y+2y = 26

75-57 = y

y=18

So the player made 18 2-point should and  7 3-point shots for a total of 57 points!

step-by-step explanation:

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
