What is the total number of points scored by a player who makes 3 three-pointers, 5 two-pointers, and 6 free throws?

Answer 1

25 points

Explanation:

Given,

The total number of points scored = 3x + 2y + 1z

Where,

x = number of three pointers,

y = number of two pointers,

z = number of free throws,

We have given,

x = 3, y = 5 and z = 6,

Hence, the total number of points scored

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

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.
