Write an algebraic expression to model the total score in each situation. Then, evaluate the expression to find the total score In the first set, the volleyball team made only 8 shots worth one point each

We are asked to set up an algebraic equation to solve for the total score in a volleyball game. We are given that the team made only 8 shots worth one point each in the first set.

let x = point per shot in the first set
y = point per shot in the second set

Total score = 8x + (number of shots in the second set) * y

Answer:

[tex]8+xy[/tex], where, 8 is the score of first half and xy is the score of second half.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find an algebraic expression that will help us find the total score in a volleyball game.

[tex]\text{Total Score = Score in first set + Score in the second set}[/tex]

It is given that 8 shots were made in the first half and each shot made was of 1 point

Thus, total score in first round = [tex]8\times 1[/tex] = 8

Now, to evaluate the total score of game, we need to fins total score in the second half of game.

Let x be the total number of shots made in second half.

Let y be the score given to each shot

Thus, total score in second half = [tex]x\times y[/tex]

Total score of VolleyBall game = [tex]8+xy[/tex], where, 8 is the score of first half and xy is the score of second half.
