In their last game, the basketball team scored a total of 86 points. if they made a total of 39 two-point basketball a d three-point baskets, how many three-point shots did the team make?

In their last game, the basketball team score of 3- point shots is 8

Solution:

Given, In their last game, the basketball team scored a total of 86 points.  

They made a total of 39 two-point basketball and three-point baskets  

We have to find how many three-point shots did the team make?

Now, let the number of three – point shots be "n", then number of two point shots will be 39 – n.

Now, we know that, total score = score of two point shots + score of three point shots

86 = 2 x number of two point shots + 3 x number of three point shots

86 = 2 x ( 39 – n ) + 3 x n

86 = 78 – 2n + 3n

3n – 2n = 86 – 78

n = 8

Hence, they score of 3- point shots is 8

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
