Central High School plays Eastern High School in a basketball game. Eastern had double the score of Central before Central scored a three-pointer as the game ended.

The variable, c, represents Central's score before the three-pointer. Express the total points scored in the game as a variable expression. Check all that apply.

2c + c
2c + 3
3c + 3
2c + c – 3
2c – c + 3
2c + c + 3

2c + c + 3

Explanation:

- Let Central High School score be c

- So, when Eastern doubled the score of Central, it is 2c

- Central scored a three-pointer as the game ended, it is + 3

To get the total points scored in the game, add all the actual variables (Eastern double points + Central single point + Central three-pointer)

So, the final answer is 2c + c + 3

i guess you forgot putting it.

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
