Question

In the last soccer game, Brandon scored 2 points more than one third of his team's total points. Let n represent the number of points Brandon's team scored. Write an expression for the number of points Brandon scored.

Answer 1

Let's call the number of points Brandon's team scored "n".

According to the problem, Brandon scored "2 points more than one third of his team's total points".

One third of the team's total points is (1/3)n.

So, Brandon scored (1/3)n + 2 points.

Therefore, the expression for the number of points Brandon scored is (1/3)n + 2.
