How many free throws did Kobe Bryant make?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the number of free throws
y = the number of 2 pointers
z = the number of 3 pointers
x + 2y + 3z = 81
x + y + z = 46
y = 3z
........
........
x = 18 free throws
y = 21 two pointers
z = 7 three pointers
Kobe Bryant made 18 free throws.
