Answer 1

Answer: She made 6 field goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the number of field goals be 'x'.

Let the number of every free throw be 'y'.

Here, y = 16

Number of points for every free throw = 1

Number of points for every field goal = 2

So, Number points for 16 free throws would be

$16\times 1=16$

According to question, we get that

$2x+16=28\\\\2x=28-16\\\\2x=12\\\\x=\dfrac{12}{2}\\\\x=6$

Hence, she made 6 field goals.
