Question

During a basketball game, the East Middle School Tigers scored 42 points from two-point baskets. How many two-point baskets did they make?

84
14
21
42

Answer 1

The answer should be 21 because the other answers do not make sense. Additionally, if you multiply 21 by 2 since 21 shots were made and each shot was worth 2 points, you would get a total of 42 points. 

Answer 2

21 two point basket.

Explanation:

It is given that During a basketball game, the East Middle School Tigers scored 42 points from two-point baskets. It means

Total score = 42 points

Score for each basket = 2 point

Let total number of two-point baskets be x. So,

Total score = 2x points.

`2x=42`

Divide both sides by 2.

`(2x)/(2)=(42)/(2)`

`x=21`

Hence, they make 21 two point basket.
