b. 8 + 2N = 50
c. 2 + 8N = 50

Answer 1

your answer is b because 8 more(+) than 2 a number(n) is(=) 50

Answer 2

Option b is right.

Explanation:

Given that 8 more than twice a number is fifty

We have to create an algebraic expression for this.

SInce we do not know the number let us assume the number to be N.

Twice the number = 2 times N

= 2N

Now 8 more means we have to add 8 to the value

i.e. 2N+8

This equals 50 is given

Hence 2N+8 =50

Option b is correct.
