Free Throws & Field Goals
Play
Your basketball team is on the verge of breaking a school record for points scored in a single season. Your team needs only 61 more points this season. Coach just found out that your only 3-point shooter is out for the rest of the season due to a... failing Algebra grade.
Next
In order to prepare to play without your shooter, Coach sets up a scrimmage.
Listen up! The scrimmage will end when you score 61 points. No 3-pointers. I want to see free throws and 2-point field goals! Oh! And since problem-solving skills are so important, you can only make 38 baskets.
Play
We need 61 points, guys. We can only shoot free throws and 2-point field goals. We can only make baskets. How many of each do we need?
Try using math! Not understanding Algebra got us into this situation to begin with!
Next
We have two totals: 61 points and 38 baskets
Let x represent the number of free throws.
Let y represent number of 2-pointers
