Q: Reggie and his brother are having a basketball shooting contest. They each get to take 10 shots. Layups are worth 1 point, free throws are worth 2 points, and anything further away is worth 3 points. Reggie makes 3 layups, two free throws, and one long shot. His brother only shoots long shots and makes 4 of them. How many points does Reggie lose by?

A: Reggie makes 3 points off layups because 3 x 1 = <<3*1=3>>3
Reggie makes 4 points off free-throws because 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4
Reggie makes 3 points off long shots because 1 x 3 = <<1*3=3>>3
Reggie scores 10 points because 3 + 4 + 3 =<<3+4+3=10>>10
His brother scores 12 points because 4 x 3 = <<4*3=12>>12
Reggie loses by 2 because 12 - 10 = <<12-10=2>>2 The answer is  2.
