Hlp Linda had a great week in basketball. In two games she scored a total 41 points and made 17 shots. If she did not make any free throws, how many 2 point and how many 3 point shots did she make in these two games? Give me the variables and write the two equations I will solve the rest - Thank you

Answer is in bold.

Explanation:

Let's say the number of two point shots is x, and the number of three point shots is y.

Equation one: x + y = 17

Equation two:  2x + 3y = 41

Hint to solve the rest: Use substitution!!

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
