Answer:

3 points = 6

2 points = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Points scored = 82

Let

Number of 2 points goals = x

Number of 3 point goals = y

2x + 3y = 82 - - (1)

x = 5y + 2 - - - (2)

(1) Becomes :

2(5y + 2) + 3y = 82

10y + 4 + 3y = 82

13y = 82 - 4

13y = 78

y = 78/13

y = 6

x = 5y + 2

x = 5(6) + 2

x = 30 + 2

x = 32
