Answer: 2pts = 5 & 3pts = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of 2 pointers be x
Lwt the number of three pointers be y.
Based on the information in the question, we can represent this as an equation. This will be:
a + b = 25 ...... i
2a + 3b = 70 ...... ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 1
2a + 2b = 50 ...... iii
2a + 3b = 70 ...... iv
Subtract equation iii from iv
b = 20
Recall that a + b = 25
a + 20 = 25
a = 25 - 20 = 5
Therefore, 2pts = 5 and 3pts = 20
