kaylah scored w points in her first basketball game.she scored three times as many points in her second game.In her third game she scored 6 more than the second

Question

Write an algebraic expression to represent the total amount.

Answer 1

The first score is w.

The second score is 3*w, or just 3w.

The third score is 6 more than the second, so 6 more than 3w, or 3w+6.

 

So in total, she scored (w)+(3w)+(3w+6)=7w+6
