Answer:
19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of 1-point shots they made and y be the amount of 2-point shots they made then...
x+y=51
x+2y=83
We can solve this equation using elimination. In this case, we can eliminate x be subtracting the two equations.
-y=-32
Divide both sides by -1
y=32
Plug this back into the equation to solve for x
x+32=51
Subtract 32 from both sides
x=19
They scored 19 1-point shots and 32 2-point shots.
