Bridget is on her middle school’s basketball team. In it’s last game, her team made 31 of it’s shots. Some of those were free throws, worth 1 point each, & some of those were regular field goals, worth 2 points each. The team didn’t make any 3 pointers and finished the game with 49 points. This system of equations can be used to represent the situation X + y = 31
X + 2y = 49
Which statement is correct
(statements are at the top aka the picture I provided)
How many points did Bridget’s team score from the field goals?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of free throws = x

And the number of regular field goals = y

Total shots made by the team = 31

Equation for the shots will be,

x + y = 31 (1)

If the team gets 1 point for free throws and 2 points for a regular field goal,

x + 2y = 49 (2)

[total points gained by the team = 49]

1). Option (2) is the correct option.

2). Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2),

  (x + 2y) - (x + y) = 49 - 31

  y = 18

  Therefore, number of  regular field goals made by the team = 18

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

so then what are you asking?
