the basketball team score 82 points from 2 point and 3 point baskets. they made 38 baskets all together. let A represent the number of two-point baskets and let B represent the number of three point baskets.

use the system of a linear equations to represent the solution then solve the system using substitution right the solution to the system as an ordered pair ( a, b)

the solution is (? , ?)

Answer:

a = 32

b =  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

a = number of 2 point baskets

b = number of 3 point baskets.

a + b = 38

2a + 3b = 82

Solution

a + b = 38                         (1)

2a + 3b = 82                     (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and put the result under (2)

2a + 3b = 82

2a + 2b = 76                         Subtract

b = 6

a + b = 38

a + 6 = 38                             Subtract  6 from both sides

a + 6 - 6 = 38 - 6

a = 32
