In hoopball, a field goal is worth 2 points and a foul shot is worth 1 point. suppose a team scored 72 points and made 6 more field goals than foul shots. how many foul shots did the team make?

Let field goal = 2 points
foul shot = 1 point
let x = amount of times a foul shot was made
let 2x + 6(2) = amount of field gaols made
(x) + (2x + 6(2)) = 72
x + 2x + 12 = 72
3x = 60
x =20
20 = # of foul shots made
2(20) +12 = 52
52 = # of field goals made 

The linear equation is: y=ax+b

B.the point lies directly on the regression
