A football team scored 52 points during a game from touchdowns (6pts each) and extra points (1pt each).
The coach chastised the team afterward that they only made half of their extra point attempts.
How many touchdowns and extra points did they make?

Let
x = # TD
y = # xtra points made
z = 2y: extra point attempts
6x + y = 52
there is no unique solution from the data given.
Several solutions are
x y z
8 4 8
7 10 20
and so on
But unlikely there were very many extra point attempts
Maybe you forgot some other requirement
