A basketball player scored 24 times during one game. She scored a total of 43 points, two for each two-point shot and one for each free throw. How many two-point shots did she make? How many free throws?
-------
Equations:
Scores:: t + f = 24 times
Points::2t + f = 43 points
------------------------------
Subtract and solve for "t":
t = 19 (# of 2-points scores)
f = 24-19 = 5 (# of free-throws)
