At a basketball game, a team made 59 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and 2-point shots. The team scored 101 points in all. Write and solve a system of equations to find the number of each type of shot. There were nothing 2-point shots and nothing 1-point shots.
Saying that X is free throws (1 points) and Y is layups (2 point shots), we can use the inequality of 1X + 2Y = 59 to find the answer. I hope this helped.
