The two top NBA players played a basketball game against the RSM team. Together the NBA players made 85 baskets, scoring one point for free throws and two or three points for field goals. They scored a total of 184 points during the game. If they made 22 free throws, how many three-point field goals did they make

They made 36 three-point field goals

Step-by-step explanation:

For free throws , we have one point each.

So here, the total points they made from free throws is 22 * 1 = 22 points

So the number of points made from field goals would be 184-22 = 162 points

So the issue we have now is knowing the number of 3-point field goals that was made.

How can we get this?

Remember they made 85 baskets? so if we subtract the number of free throws, then we can have the number of field throws and that is 85-22 = 63

Now, let the number of 2 points throws be x and the number of 3 points throws be y

From our earlier analysis;

x + y = 63 ••••••••• (i)

Now the total number of three pointers would be 3 * y = 3y and the total number of two pointers would be 2 * x = 2x

Adding both gives a total of 162

Thus;

2x + 3y = 162 •••••••• (ii)

So we have two equations to solve simultaneously.

From equation 1, we can say that;

x = 63-y

Let’s substitute this into equation 2

2(63-y) + 3y = 162

126 -2y + 3y = 162

126+y = 162

y = 162-126

y = 36

This means that they made 36 three-point field goals

5 x 14?

im new, sorry if this is wrong.

step-by-step explanation:

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
