\r\n" );
document.write( "Let T be the number of 2-point field goals;\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "then the number of the 1-point throws is (16-T).\r\n" );

document.write( "    (16-T) + 2T = 24.\r\n" );

document.write( "From the equation, find T\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
