hi i need help with the question (at a basketball game, a team made 54 successful shots. they combination of 1- and 2- point shots.the team scored 92 points in all. write and solve a system of equations to find the number of each type of shots) so i need to fined the number of 2-point and 1-pionts thank you so much !

Let amount of one-point, and two-point shots made be S, and T, respectively

Then: S + T = 54 ----- eq (i)

Also, S + 2T = 92 ----- eq (ii)

Solve this system of equations and you should get your answers
