Modeling—Basketball Game. The Stanford University women’s basketball team made 45 field goals in a recent game; some were 2-pointers and some were 3-pointers. How many 2-pointers were made and how many 3-pointers were made if Stanford scored 101 points?
Modeling—Basketball Game. The Stanford University women’s basketball team made 45 field goals in a recent game; some were 2-pointers and some were 3-pointers. How many 2-pointers were made and how many 3-pointers were made if Stanford scored 101 points?
Given that, The Stanford University women's basketball team made 45 field goals, some were 2-points and some were 3points. Let they made x-number of 2-points and y-number of 3-points.
So, we can write, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
Again, points gain from 2-points is 2*x
and point gain from 3-poitns is 3*y
i.e.-total point=2*x + 3*y
Given that Stanford scored 101 points, so . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(2)
