Question

Central High School plays Eastern High School in a basketball game. Eastern had double the score of Central

before Central scored a three-pointer as the game ended.
The variable, c, represents Central's score before the three-pointer. Express the total points scored in the game as a
variable expression. Check all that apply.
2c + c
3c + 3
2c +3
2c + c-3
2c-c+3
2c +c+ 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

The total points scored in the game is a sum of the points scored by both teams.Given that Eastern had double the score of Central before Central scored a three-pointer as the game ended, Eastern's score can be represented as 2c.So the total points scored in the game is:Central's score before the three-pointer + Eastern's score before the three-pointer + the points scored by Central in the last three-pointer.So the total points scored in the game can be represented as:c + 2c + 3 = 2c + 3So the correct answer is C) 2c +3
