Question

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression.

8 more than twice Matt's savings
Use the variable m to represent Matt's savings.

Answer 1

2m + 8

Explanation:

It's rather simple to break it down, take "8 more" as (+ 8) and twice Matt's savings into (2 * m) which then becomes simply (2m). Because of pemdas, your final answer should be 2m first then + 8, so 2m+8
