Jaxson made 4 free throws and 7 two points shots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total points made by Jaxson = 18 points
Free throw = 1 point
Let,
x be the number of free throws
y be the number of two point shots
According to given statement;
x+2y=18 Eqn 1
y = x+3 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
[tex]x+2(x+3)=18\\x+2x+6=18\\3x=18-6\\3x=12[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}\\x=4[/tex]
Putting x=4 in Eqn 2
[tex]y=4+3\\y=7[/tex]
Jaxson made 4 free throws and 7 two points shots.
