At a basketball game, a team made 52 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and 2-point shots. The team scored
88 points in all. Write and solve a system of equations to find the number of each type of shot.

Number of 1 point shots = 16

Number of 2 point shots = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of 1 point shots

y be the number of 2 point shots

According to given statement;

x + y = 52     Eqn 1

x + 2y = 88    Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 2

x + 2y - x - y = 88 - 52

y = 36

Putting y = 36 in Eqn 1

x + 36 = 52

x = 52 - 36

x = 16

Hence,

Number of 1 point shots = 16

Number of 2 point shots = 36

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
