Answer:
16 + 2a
Step-by-step explanation:
- Since "a" is the missing variable, we need to set up an equation to express this.
- It says, "8 more than a" which means we add 8 to a.
- So far we have 8 + a = ?
- It says "times 2" so we multiply the expression "8 + a" by 2.
- Now we have 2(8 + a)
- We can reduce this by using distributive property.
- 16 + 2a
