Jeremiah scored 28 points in yesterday's basketball game. He made a total of 17 baskets. Some of the baskets were field goals (worth two points) and the rest were free throws (worth one point). How many field goals did Jeremiah make? How many free throws did he make?
Had all of Jeremiah's baskets been field goals, his score would have been 34 points. Since it was 6 points less, he must have made ... .. 6 free throws, hence 11 field goals.
