Answer:
basketball player scored 40 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 22 less than three times the number of free throws (each worth 1 point). Twice the number of two point field goals the player made was 11 more than the number of three point field goals made. Find the number of free-throws, two point field goals, and three point field goals that the player made in the game.
Once I have the equations I understand how to do the problem, but I am obviously doing something wrong because each time I write out the equations I end up getting fractions.
Answer:
150002
Step-by-step explanation:
2+100000+50000
Add 2 and 100000 to get 100002.
100002+50000
Add 100002 and 50000 to get 150002.
150002

Explanation:
Both sides of the equation are squared.
I like this better without fractions, so would multiply by 16 at this point (or earlier).
x^2 -40x +144 = 0
(x -36)(x -4) = 0
x = 4 or 36 . . . . . . x = 4 is extraneous
The solution is x = 36.
