Question 10
answer not submitted
a basketball team scored a total of 67 points from two- and three-point baskets. there were 17 two-point baskets made.
select all the strategies that could be used to determine the number of three-point baskets.
answer choices
subtract 17 from the 67 total points and then divide by 3.
subtract the number of points from two-point baskets from 67; this would give the number of three-point baskets.
let x = the number of three point baskets. write an equation that represents the total points scored and solve the equation for x.
since you know the number of points for two-point baskets, try different numbers for three point baskets until you find the amount that would give 67 total points.
