Answer: 36 three-point field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, set up a system of equations. Let's call the number of one-pointers $w$ , the number of two-pointers $x$ , and the number of three-pointers $y$ . We are trying to find $y$ here. We also know that $w+x+y=85$ , because that is the total amount of baskets, and also that $w+2x+3y=184$ , which is the total amount of points. We know that there were 22 free throws, so that means we can take away 22 baskets from the first equation, and also 22 points from the second equation. Now the equations are $x+y=63$ and $2x+3y=184$ . Solving the equations using our knowledge of systems of equations, you get that $y=36$ . So, 36 is the answer. Let me know if anything was unclear, and I hope this helped.
