You and your friends decide to go to the recreation center to play pickup basketball. You decide to play the game 21 where a layup equals 1 point and a jump shot equals two points. You made 11 layups and need to decide how many jump shots you need to make in order to win… Remember that you must not go over 21 points or you lose.​

5 jump shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = number of layups and j = number of jump shots

l + 2j = 21

11 + 2j = 21

2j = 10

j = 5

5 jump shots are needed to win the game and not go over 21 points.
