Answer:

8a

They are both equal to 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial expression is:

3a + 5a

Since both term have the variable a, we can add them as

(3 + 5)a = 8a

So, the equivalent term is 8a.

Then, to verify that they are equivalen, we will replace a by 2 on both expression, so

3a + 5a

3(2) + 5(2)

6 + 10

16

8a

8(2)

16

Therefore, both expressions are equal to 16.

So, the answers are

8a

They are both equal to 16
