Answer 1

Explanation:

Eight friends went to a hockey game. The price admission per person was $x. This means that the total amount paid by the eight friends for admission would be

8 × x = $8x

Four of the friends paid and extra $6 each for a player guide book. This means that the total amount paid by four of the friends for the player guide book would be

4 × 6 = $24

Therefore, the expression that represents the total amount spent by the eight friends would be

8x + 24
