Step-by-step explanation:

i think this is right i am not sure

Answer:

[tex]x = 8 \\ y = 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of one point shots, and y the number of two point shots.

We have

[tex]x + y = 12 \\ y = 12 - x[/tex]

And

[tex]x + 2y = 16[/tex]

Substituting the first equation in we get

[tex]x + 2(12 - x) = 16 \\ x + 24 - 2x = 16 \\ - x = - 8 \\ x = 8[/tex]

Since

[tex]y = 12 - x \\ y = 12 - 8 = 4[/tex]
