Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the given, x = 333 three-pointers, y = 5 two-pointers, and z = 6 free throws, and the total number of points scored is:
3x + 2y + z = 3(333) + 2(5) + (6) = 999 + 10 + 6 = 1015
*If the number of three-pointers is actually 3, then the actual total score is:
3(3) + 2(5) + (6) = 9 + 10 + 6 = 25.
