: Believe it or not, I am a teacher and I cannot solve this problem. Help!
Juan scored 5 more 2-point shots than 3-point shots in his Friday bb game. He scored 2 fewer free throw shots than 3 point shots. He scored 26 points all together. How many of each did he shoot?
I got
x= y + 5
x= z-2
3x + 2y + z = 26
Where did I go wrong?
