In basketball there are 3 ways to score: a free throw, worth 1 point, two

pointers, worth 2 points, and a three-pointer, worth 3 points. Let x represent
the number of free throws made, let y represent the number of two pointers
made, and let z represent the number of three pointers made. If a team
scores a total of 100 points, which of the equations below could be used to
determine the number of each type of shot that the team made?
a. x + 3y + 2z = 100
b. 2x + 3y + 3z = 100
c. x + y + z = 100
d. x + 2y + 3z = 100

Answer:

D

Explanation:

I think it's D. Because you have that free shots give you 1 point so it is 1x or x , then you have two pointers which give you 2 points so it is 2y and you have three pointers which give you 3 points so it is 3z
