Question 1103530: On January 22nd , 2006, Kobe Bryant scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors. Including
three‐pointers, two‐pointers, and free‐throws he made 46 shots. He made three times as many two‐
point shots as three‐point shots. How many free-throws did Kobe Bryant make? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X-Two point shots
Y-Three point shots
Z-Free throws
.
.
.
1. <-- Total number of shots
2. <-- Total point value of shots
3. Three times as many two pointers as three pointers
Using 3 on 1 and 2 to eliminate X,
4.

.
5.
Now subtract 4 from 5 to eliminate Z.
Solve for Y then work backwards to solve X and Z.
