Answer (3)

x - 2-point field goals y - 1-points field goals
2x + y = 44 x + y = 30
2x = 44 - y y = 30 - x
2x = 44 - y y = 30 - (22 - 1/2y)
2x = 44 - y y = 30 - 22 + 1/2y
2x = 44 - y 1/2y = 8
2x = 44 - y y = 16
2x = 44 - 16 y = 16
2x = 28 y = 16
x = 14 y = 16
x + y = 30 14 + 16 = 30 L = R
2x + y = 44 28 + 16 = 44 44 = 44 L = R
