A basketball player scored 29 times during one game. He scored a total of 47 points, two for each two-point shot and one for each free throw. How many two-point shots did He makes? How many free throws? How many two-point shots did he make? (please simplify)
Let F=number of free throws, then number of 2-point shots = 29-F total 47=F+2(29-F) solve for F 2F-F=2*29-47 F=11 2-point shots = 29-F=29-11=18 Check: 18*2+11=47 = total points,...ok
