It says Dallas didn't make any free throws. It means there are short field goals (SFG) and long field goals (LFG) only.
Let's assume number of SFG = x
and number of LFG = y
Given that 2 points for a short field goal, and 3 points for a long field goal.
Total Score = 2x+3y
Also, Total score = 36 (given in the question)
So we have the equation
where x and y are integers.
when SFG=0, then x=0 and so 3y=36.
y=12 i.e. LFG = 12
So the extreme case is (0,12) i.e. SFG=0 and LFG=12.
Other cases would be integral vales of (x,y) which satisfy the equation 2x+3y=36.
So (3,10) , (6,8) , (9,6) , (12,4) , (15,2) , and (18,0) are other cases.
Hence final answers are (x,y) = (0,12) , (3,10) , (6,8) , (9,6) , (12,4) , (15,2) , and (18,0)
