Part a.

Let x be the unknown number. Then, the statement "the product of a number and 2" can be written as


2x

since this product must be equal to 16, we have


2x=16

Then, the answer is the second option: 2x=16.

Part b.

In this case, we need to isolate the x variable. Then, by dividing both side of our last result, we get


x=(16)/(2)

which gives


x=8

Therefore, the answer for b) is: 8
