A touchdown is scored 6 points for each touchdown and the points made after a touchdown is scored 2 points each. We are given the following variables:

t = number of touchdowns
p = number of points after a touchdown

Total score = 6t + 2p

Where 6 times t is the total score given by the number of touchdowns multiplied by 6 points, the same goes for the expression 2p.
