Answer:

The total number of points scored by the player is 25 points.

Explanation:

3x + 2y + 1z

x is 3 pointer

y is 2 pointer

z is 1 limiter (free throw)

For a player who makes 3 three-pointers(x), 5 two-pointers(y), and 6 free throws(z)?

Using the given equation, we have;

3x + 2y + 1z

= 3(3) + 2(5) + 1(6)

= 9 + 10 + 6

= 25

Therefore, the total point is 25 points.
