Mac and his brother Ted collect coins. Mac's collection contains 8 more than twice as many as Ted's. If the total number of coins in the two collections is 74, how many coins are in each collection?

If x represents the number of coins in Ted's collection, then which expression represents the number of coins in Mac's collection?

x + 2(8)
2(x + 8)
2x + 8
