The answer would be:
(3 x 3) + (8 x 2) = 25
When you triple something, you multiply it by 3 or add the number to itself 3 times. When you double something, you multiply it by 2.
So when you triple three, you are multiplying 3 by 3. When you are doubling eight, you are multiplying 8 by 2.
(3 x 3) + (8 x 2)
9 + 16 = 25
