Answer:

  • 10 two-point shots, 7 three-point shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2-point shots be x and 3-point shots be y.

We set up following equations:

  • x + y = 17
  • 2x + 3y = 41

Solve by elimination, triple the first equation and subtract the second equation:

  • 3x + 3y - 2x - 3y = 17*3 - 41
  • x = 51 - 41
  • x = 10

Find y:

  • 10 + y = 17
  • y = 17 - 10
  • y = 7
