Question

Which of the following algebraic expressions will translate “the sum of eight and twice w”?

8 + w
2(8) + w
8 = 2w
None of the choices are correct.

Answer 1

eight: 8

twice w: 2w

Sum: 8 + 2w

Answer 2

None of the choices are correct.

Explanation:

In order to correctly translate the sum of eight and twice "w" we have to remember that every time that an algebraic problem refers to twice something we have to multiply that by 2, so the sum of eight and twice W should look like this:

`2(w)+8\\2w+8`

So since that is not in the options, none of the options are correct.
