Answer:

3 points = 2

2 points = 6

1 point = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total point scored = 26

Let number of 3 point basket = x

Number of 2 point basket = x + 4

Number of free throws = x + x + 4 = 2x + 4

Hence,

Total 3 points = 3x

Total 2 points 2(x + 4)

Total free throw points = 2x + 4

3x + 2(x + 4) + 2x + 4 = 26

3x + 2x + 8 + 2x + 4 = 26

7x + 12 = 26

7x = 26 - 12

7x = 14

x = 2

Number of 3 points = x = 2

2 points = (x+4) = 2+4 = 6

1 point = (2x+ 4) = 2(2) + 4 = 8
