The Solution:

Let the number of students in the soccer team be x, and that in the track team be 3x.

There are 8 students in the soccer team. This means that


x=8

We are to write an equation to represent the number of students.


\text{ Total number of students = 3x + x}

Therefore, the correct answer is 3x + x.
