What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Given that:-

• In their last basketball game, Becky scored twice as many points as Min. Together, they scored 42 points.

The points scored by Becky will be calculated as:-

Let Min score M points and Becky score B points. so the equation will be given as from the given data:-

B  =  2M

B  +  M   =  42

Now put the value of B in the second equation:-

2M   +   M  = 42

3M   =  42

M  =   14

B  +  M =  42

B  =  42  -  14  =  28

Therefore the points scored by Becky will be equal to 28.
