Answer:

32 baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of baskets and y be the number of missed shots. we can set up these two formulas:

x+6 = y

x+y = 70

we can replace y in the second formula with (x+6).

x+x+6 = 70

simplify: 2x+6 = 70

subtract 6 from each side: 2x = 64

divide each side by 2: x = 32

If the basketball player shot 70 times and the number of missed shots was 6 more than the number of baskets, then the number of baskets is 32

The total number of shots = 70

Let the number of baskets be represented by x

The number of missed shots was 6 more than the number of baskets

The number of missed shots = x  +  6

Number of baskets  +  Number of missed shots = Total number of shots

x   +  (x  +  6)    =   70

2x  +  6   =  70

2x   =  70   -  6

2x   =    64

x    =  64/2

x    =  32

The number of baskets = 32

Therefore, the player made 32 baskets
