Question

Jamal's math teacher pointed out that the number of Jamal's free throws and the number of

two-point field goals (FG) were two consecutive odd numbers. He made more two-point
throws and no three-point FGs. If Jamal made a total
FGs
of 19 points, how many field goals did he make?
than free

Answer 1

Answer: We have to find how many field goals he made.We know that the number of free throws (FT) and the number of two-point field goals (FG) are two consecutive odd numbers. As they are consecutive odd numbers, they differ by two, so we can write:There are no three-point field goals and the total number of points was 19, so this score has to be the sum of the points from free throws and the points from two-point field goals.Answer:He made 7 two-point field goals and 5 free throws.He made 2 more field goals than free throws.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: free throws are worth 1 point?

We have to find how many field goals he made.

We know that the number of free throws (FT) and the number of two-point field goals (FG) are two consecutive odd numbers. As they are consecutive odd numbers, they differ by two, so we can write:

There are no three-point field goals and the total number of points was 19, so this score has to be the sum of the points from free throws and the points from two-point field goals.

Answer:

He made 7 two-point field goals and 5 free throws.

He made 2 more field goals than free throws.
