Question

In a basketball game the home team scores (2m + 39) points and the visiting team scores (3m + 40) points. Find the sum to represent the total points scored by the two teams m minutes past halftime.

Answer 1

Answer:

S = (5m+79)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Scores won by home team = (2m + 39) points

Score won by visiting team = (3m + 40) points

We need to find the sum to represent the total points scored by the two teams m minutes past halftime.

It can be calculated by the sum of score by two teams. Let the sum is S.

S = (2m + 39) + (3m + 40)

S = 5m + 79

Hence, sum to represent the total points scored by the two teams m minutes past halftime is (5m+79)
