Answer:

a = 32

b =  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

a = number of 2 point baskets

b = number of 3 point baskets.

a + b = 38

2a + 3b = 82

Solution

a + b = 38                         (1)

2a + 3b = 82                     (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and put the result under (2)

2a + 3b = 82

2a + 2b = 76                         Subtract

b = 6

a + b = 38

a + 6 = 38                             Subtract  6 from both sides

a + 6 - 6 = 38 - 6

a = 32
