She TRIED +x+ freethrows in the 1st 16 games
In the next game, she TRIED +7+ freethrows,
so she tried +x+%2B+7+ freethrows in 17 games
--------------------------------------------
In 17 games, she made +.723x+%2B+6+ freethrows
Let +y+ = the percent of free throws made after 17 games
+y+=+100%2A%28+.723x+%2B+6+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+7+%29+
+y+=+%28+72.3x+%2B+600+%29+%2F+%28+x+%2B+7+%29+
