tom scored 23 points in a basketball game. He attempted 15 field goals and 6 free throws. If each successful field goal is 2 points and each successful free throw is 1 point, is it possible he successfully made all 6 of his throws?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The number is odd, so if he makes all 6 the number wouldn't make sense, because for every successful field goal he gets is 2points; so mathematically it wouldn't make sense.
