Question

A number is tripled and increased by 8. Write an expression.
3x – 8

x + 8

3x + 8

3x

Answer 1

To write an expression for a number that is tripled and then increased by 8, we can define the number as \( x \).

If we triple the number, we have \( 3x \). Then, if we increase that result by 8, the expression becomes:

\[ 3x + 8 \]

So, the correct expression is **3x + 8**.
