A basketball player scored 29 points in a game. The number of three-point field goals the player made was 29 less than three tim

es the number of free throws (each worth 1 point). Twice the number of two-point field goals the player made was 15 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.
A-10 free throws; 1 two-point field goals; 8 three-point field goals

B-11 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 4 three-point field goals

C-10 free throws; 9 two-point field goals; 3 three-point field goals

D-10 free throws; 8 two-point field goals; 1 three-point field goals

If you let x represent the number of free throws.         
let y represent the number of two-point field goal.         
let z represent the number of three-point shots made.

Then the correct system of linear equations is as follows: 

x + 2y + 3z = 29 (The total number of points scored is 29.)
z = 3x - 29 (The number of 3-pointers was 29 less than 3 times the number of free throws.)
2y = z + 15 (Twice the number of 2-point shots made was 15 more than the number of 3-pointers.) 

Solution:
This basketball player scored 10 points via free throws (10 at 1 point each), 16 points via 8 two-point shots made, and 3 points via 1 three-point shots made. So, in the choice its letter D.

How many of the first 1000 positive integers are multiples of both 4 and 5 but not 6 ?
castortr0y [4]
Let's begin by breaking  each number down into its prime factors:    4 = 2 x 2    5 = 5    6 = 2 x 3 Next, let's determine the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 4, 5, and 6 by multiplying all common and unique prime factors of each number:    common prime factors: 2    unique prime factors:  2,5,3    LCM = 2 x 2 x 5 x 3 = 60 Next, let's determine how many times 60 goes into 10,000 (excluding remainder):    10,000/60 = 166 and 2/3    Multiples of ALL 3 numbers (4,5,6) = 166  Next, let's determine the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the numbers 4 and 5 by multiplying all common and unique prime factors of each number:    common prime factors:  none
    unique prime factors:  2 x 2 x 5
    LCM = 2 x 2 x 5 = 20 Next, let's determine how many times 20 goes into 10,000:
    10,000/20 = 500
    Multiples of BOTH numbers (4 and 5) = 500 Finally, let's subtract the multiples of ALL three numbers (4,5,6) from the multiples of BOTH numbers (4 and 5) to get our answer:   Multiples of ONLY numbers 4 and 5 (excluding 6):       500 - 166 = <span>334</span>
