Question

Write an equation that determines that the amount of 3-pointers and 2-pointers will tally exaclty 63 points

Answer 1

Here it is.

Let x = number of 3-pointers;
and y = number of 2-pointers.

The equation is:

3x + 2y = 63.

Because x is the number of 3-pointers and you multiply that number by 3 to get the total amount of points that term gets you; and y equals the number of2-pointers and you multiply that by 2 in order to see the total amount of points that term gets you.

There are many answers to this equation, because it is a quadratic equation. In order to find the answers, simply put in the equation into a graphing calculator.

To do this, you have to change it to y=mx+b formula.
(Remember, from Algebra class?)

So,
3x+2y=63
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2y = -3x + 63
Divide both sides by two.

And you get: y = -3/2x + 63/2.

Put this equation in any graphing calculator and you'll get your answer!

Answer 2

x=the # of 3-pointers
y=the # of 2-pointers

each x is worth 3 points and each y is worth 2 points, therefore the # of points from 3-pointers equals x times 3 and and the # of points from 2-pointers equals y times 2, so your equation is:

3x+2y=63

Answer 3

x=3 pointers
y=2 pointers

3x+2y=63

Answer 4

let x be 2 pointers and y be 3 pointers: 2x+3y=63

Answer 5

3x + 2y = 63

let x be the number of 3-pointers
let y be the number of 2-pointers

Answer 6

let 2 pointers be x
value=2x
3 pointers=(63-2x)/3

Answer 7

x=the amount of three pointers
y=the amount of two pointers

3x+2y=63

Answer 8

(x*3)+(y*2)=63

Then solve both for (x) and (y). *S*

I'll not give you the answer but it dies compute and give the correct answer.
