Q. Write an expression to represent a player's score. Let s equal the beanbags that land on the board. Let h equal the beanbags that land in the hole.
Define scoring system: Let's define the scoring system: each beanbag on the board scores 1 point, and each beanbag in the hole scores 3 points. We need to create an expression using s and h.
Calculate board score: Calculate the total score from beanbags on the board: 1 point per beanbag. So, the score from the board is 1×s.
Calculate hole score: Calculate the total score from beanbags in the hole: 3 points per beanbag. So, the score from the hole is 3×h.
Calculate total score: Add the scores from the board and the hole to get the total score. The expression for the total score is 1s+3h.
