Question

How do you translate "8 more than a twice a number" into a mathematical expression?

Answer 1

`2x+8`

Explanation:

"8 more than" means plus `8`
"twice" means times `2`

This means you have to double `x` and add `8` to get `y`
So, `y=2x+8`

However, since the question is asking for an expression, you take away the "`y=`".

So your final answer should be:
`2x+8`
