Answer:

16 + 2a

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Since "a" is the missing variable, we need to set up an equation to express this.
  2. It says, "8 more than a" which means we add 8 to a.
  3. So far we have 8 + a = ?
  4. It says "times 2" so we multiply the expression "8 + a" by 2.
  5. Now we have 2(8 + a)
  6. We can reduce this by using distributive property.
  7. 16 + 2a

If I am incorrect in my reasoning, please let me know so that I can plan better for my future answers. Have an amazing day.
