The correct algebraic expression to represent how many points the basketball player might score in n games is A. 10n.
To understand why, let's break it down:
- We know that the basketball player scores 10 points per game and we want to find out how many points she might score in n games.
- The variable n represents the number of games.
- Multiplying the number of games (n) by the points scored per game (10), we get the total number of points scored in n games.
Therefore, the expression 10n represents the number of points the basketball player might score in n games.
