Corrected 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
  • 2c + 3
  • 3c + 3
  • 2c + c – 3
  • 2c – c + 3
  • 2c + c + 3

Answer:

(C)3c + 3

(F)2c + c + 3

Explanation:

  • Central High School's Score = c
  • Eastern had double the score of Central, therefore Eastern High School's Score =2c
  • Central then scored a 3 pointer.

Therefore:

Total Points Scored in the game =c+2c+3 (This is option F)

Simplifying, we have:

c+2c+3=3c+3 (This is option C)

Therefore, C and F are the correct options.
