[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the number of baskets Andrew made, we can use the information given in the question.

Let's assume that the number of baskets Andrew made is represented by the variable 'b'. According to the question, Joe made 2 baskets more than Andrew, so we can represent the number of baskets Joe made as 'b + 2'.

Now, we know that Joe made 9 baskets, so we can set up the equation:

b + 2 = 9

To solve this equation for 'b', we can start by isolating the variable. We can do this by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:

b + 2 - 2 = 9 - 2

This simplifies to:

b = 7

Therefore, Andrew made 7 baskets.
