In a basketball game, penny made 16 total baskets and scored 39 total points. each of the baskets she made were either 2-point or 3-point baskets. how many 2 point baskets, and 3 point baskets did penny make?

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were 2-points, then Penny's score would be 32. It is 7 more than that, so she must have made 7 3-point baskets. (Each adds 1 more point than a 2-point basket.) The remaining 9 were 2-point baskets.

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
