Question

Write an algebraic expression to model the total score in each situation. Then, evaluate the expression to find the total score In the first set, the volleyball team made only 8 shots worth one point each

Answer 1

`8+xy`, where, 8 is the score of first half and xy is the score of second half.

Explanation:

We have to find an algebraic expression that will help us find the total score in a volleyball game.

`\text{Total Score = Score in first set + Score in the second set}`

It is given that 8 shots were made in the first half and each shot made was of 1 point

Thus, total score in first round =
`8* 1` = 8

Now, to evaluate the total score of game, we need to fins total score in the second half of game.

Let x be the total number of shots made in second half.

Let y be the score given to each shot

Thus, total score in second half =
`x* y`

Total score of VolleyBall game =
`8+xy`, where, 8 is the score of first half and xy is the score of second half.

Answer 2

We are asked to set up an algebraic equation to solve for the total score in a volleyball game. We are given that the team made only 8 shots worth one point each in the first set.

let x = point per shot in the first set
y = point per shot in the second set

Total score = 8x + (number of shots in the second set) * y
