document.write( "Question 1196864: Louie Dampier is the leading scorer in the history of the ABA. His 13,726 points were scored on two point baskets, three point baskets, and one point free throws. In his ABA career, Dampier made 2,144 more two point baskets than free throws and 1,558 more free throws than three point baskets. Write a system of equations that could be used to find how many three point baskets, two point baskets, and free throws he made? How many three point baskets did Dampier make?\r
