Bridget is on her middle school’s basketball team. In it’s last game, her team made 31 of it’s shots. Some of those were free throws, worth 1 point each, & some of those were regular field goals, worth 2 points each. The team didn’t make any 3 pointers and finished the game with 49 points. This system of equations can be used to represent the situation X + y = 31
X + 2y = 49
Which statement is correct
(statements are at the top aka the picture I provided)
How many points did Bridget’s team score from the field goals?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of free throws = x

And the number of regular field goals = y

Total shots made by the team = 31

Equation for the shots will be,

x + y = 31 (1)

If the team gets 1 point for free throws and 2 points for a regular field goal,

x + 2y = 49 (2)

[total points gained by the team = 49]

1). Option (2) is the correct option.

2). Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),

  (x + 2y) - (x + y) = 49 - 31

  y = 18

  Therefore, number of  regular field goals made by the team = 18

goog may be able to you find that answer

step-by-step explanation:

y = | -2(-2) |     →     y = | 4 |     →     y = 4       ⇒   (-2, 4)

y = | -2(-1) |     →     y = | 2 |     →       y =   2       ⇒   (-1, 2)    

y = | -2(0) |     →     y = | 0 |     →       y = 0         ⇒   (0, 0)

y = | -2(1) |   c →     y = | -2 |     →     y =   2         ⇒   (1, 2)    

y = | -2(2) |     →     y = | - 4 |     →     y =   4         ⇒   (2, 4)
