Answer 2

Answer:

She made eight 2 pointers

She made four  3 pointers

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 28

x + y    = 12                 Multiply this equation by 2

2x + 2y =24

Write the first and third equations underneath each other,

2x + 3y = 28

2x + 2y = 24              Subtract.

        y = 4

x + y = 12

x + 4 = 12                     Subtract  4 from each side

   - 4    -4

x = 8
