<PRE><B>Question 1117186</B>
A good one to reason out mentally.

&quot;Carmelo shot twice as many baskets&quot; Е   that tells you you will have some quantity plus twice that quantity, (or three times some quantity),  equal to 42.   42/3 is 14.  &lt;br&gt;
Mark shot &lt;b&gt;14&lt;/b&gt; baskets and Carmelo shot &lt;b&gt;28&lt;/b&gt; baskets.

Algebraically:
Let M=number of baskets Mark shot.

then 2M = number of baskets Carmelo shot.

M+2M = 3M = 42  Ч&gt;  M=42/3 = 14.   Mark shot &lt;b&gt;14&lt;/b&gt; baskets, Carmelo shot 2*14=&lt;b&gt;28&lt;/b&gt; baskets.
