Answer:

2 three points shots and 4 two points shots

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of three points shots.

Alexander Ā made twice as many two points shots as three points shots, so the number of two points shots is 2x.

Amount earned in three points shots [tex]=3\cdot x[/tex]

Amount earned in two points shots [tex]=2\cdot (2x)=4x[/tex]

Total score [tex]=3x+4x=7x[/tex]

Alexander scores a total of 14 points, then

[tex]7x=14\\ \\x=2\\ \\2x=2\cdot 2=4[/tex]
