Question

In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-point shots. In the second half, the player scored the same number of 3-point shots as the number of 2-point shots scored in the first half. Which expression represents the total number of points the player scored in the game?

2x + 3x + 9
2x + 3 + 9
2x + 3x + 9x
2 + 3x + 9

Answer 1

Answer:A

Explanation:

2x + 3x + 9

Answer 2

`2x+3x+9`

Explanation:

In first half,

Let number of 2-point shots=x

Points scored on free throws=9

Point scored in x number of 2-point shots=2x

In second half,

Number of 3-point shots=number of 2-point shots in first half=x

Point scored in x number of 3-point shots=3x

Therefore, the player scored total number of points in the game is given by

`2x+3x+9`

Hence, the expression which represents the total number of points scored by player in the game is given by

`2x+3x+9`
