Sam had his highest scoring basketball game by making 18 shots for a total of 43 points. if all of his points came from 2- and 3-points shots, how many of each shot did he make define your variables:
state your system of equations:
answer in terms of the problem:

43 - 18*2 = 43 -36 = 7

7 were 3 point shots
11 were 2 point shots

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
