Total shots: 9
Remember:
---> no. fo field goals
---> no. of free throws
In this data, we generate, --------------> eqn 1
.
Total points: 10
---> field goal points per 1 shot
---> free throw point per 1 shot
So it follows, ----------------------------------> eqn 2
In eqn 1 we get, -----------------------------------> eqn 3,
Substitute eqn 3 to eqn 2:
-------------> no. of field goals
In eqn 3: ----> no. of free throws
In doubt? we go eqn 2:
, total points scored
Thank you,
