Concept explainers
To state: An algebraic expression that models the total scores for the situation: the volleyball team made only 8 shots worth one point each. Evaluate the expression.
The resultant algebraic expression is x and the total score is 8.
Given information:
The given statement is the volleyball team made only 8 shots worth one point each.
Explanation:
Consider the definition of algebraic expression:
A mathematical phrase that includes a combination of numbers and variables using the mathematical operations is known as an algebraic expression.
The same statement can be expressed in algebra by writing it using numbers, variables, and mathematical operations.
Assume the number of shots worth one point is x .
The product of the number of shots and the value of each shot in points will make the total points.
Then the algebraic expression will become:
Now evaluate the expression for 8 shots.
Substitute the value x as 8 in expression x to get the value of total scores,
Therefore, 8 is the resultant total score.
