Answer 1

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.
