Question 455900
Greg is a star player on the basketball team.In one game,his field-goal total was 20 points,made up of 2-piont and 3-point baskets. If Greg made a total of 9 baskets, how many of each type did he make?

Lets call 2 pointers x and 3 pointers y. Ok we also know that he made a total of 20 points. This gives us our first equation.
2x+3y=20.

Now the second equation. We know that he made a total of 9 baskets.
x+y=9

Now solve by using the system of elimination.
