<PRE><B>Question 1013640</B>
 Chris scored 15 times during one basketball game. He scored a total of 24 points, two for each field goal and one for each free throw. How many field goals did he make? How many free throws did he get? 
------
Equation:
t + f = 15 scores
2t+ f = 24 points
-------------------------
Subtract and solve for &quot;t&quot;::
t = 9 (# of 2-point field goals)
-----
f = 15-t = 6 (# of 1-point free throws)
