Question 925235
Let x = two-point shot
    y = free throw

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.
2x+y=43
 x+y=24

2x+y=43
-x-y=-24
   x=19

Substitute x for 19
19+y=24
   y=5

She makes 19 two-point shot and 5 free throws.

Check 
2(19)+5 = 43
   38+5 = 43
     43 = 43
