Answer: If you let x represent the number of free throws (worth 1 point each)
let y represent the number of two-point field goals (worth 2 points each)
let z represent the number of three-point shots made (worth 3 points each)
Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows:
x + 2y + 3z = 40 (The total number of points scored is 40.)
z = 3x - 22 (The number of 3-pointers was 22 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 11 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 11 more than the number of 3-pointers.)
The solution is as follows:
This basketball player scored 9 points via free throws (9 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 15 points via 5 three-point shots made.
