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 :

Answer:

The correct answer is: 2x + 3x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the breakdown:

- In the first half, the player scored 9 points on free throws and x number of 2-point shots, for a total of 9 + 2x points.

- In the second half, the player scored x number of 3-point shots, for a total of 3x points.

- The total number of points scored in the game is the sum of the points from both halves: 9 + 2x + 3x = 2x + 3x + 9.
