Question

In basketball, the number of points you score is given by the expression 3x + 2y + 1z x is three-pointers, y is two-pointers, and z is free throws (one-pointers). What is the total number of points scored by a player who makes 3 three-pointers, 5 two-pointers, and 6 free throws?

Answer 1

Answer:

25 points

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we only need to substitute the variables x,y and z with the numbers of three pointers, two pointers and free throws respectively.

The expression to use is 3x + 2y + 1z.

After substitution:

The expression becomes 3(3) + 2(5) + 1(6)

9 + 10 + 6 = 25 points
