Final answer:

The Watson family has 92 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many eggs the Watson family has, we need to add the number of eggs they just bought to the number of eggs they already had. They bought 7 crates of eggs, and each crate had 12 eggs, so they bought a total of 7 * 12 = 84 eggs. Adding the 8 eggs they already had, the Watson family now has a total of 84 + 8 = 92 eggs.

Find the number of eggs in 7 crates:
1 crate = 12 eggs
7 crates = 12 x 7 = 84 eggs

Add the 8 eggs in their fridge:
84 + 8 = 92 eggs

Answer: They have 92 eggs.
