Question

Jeremiah scored 28 points in yesterday's

basketball game. He made a total of 17 baskets.
Some of the baskets were field goals (worth two
points) and the rest were free throws (worth one
point). Write and solve a system of equations to
find the number of field goals and the number of
free throws that Jeremiah made.

Answer 1

Let the number of free throws Jeramiah got be x and the field goals he got be 17-x.

x + 2(17-x) = 28

x = 6

Jeramiah made 6 field throws.
