Question Represent the following phrase as an algebraic expression where'a number" is the letter x. You do not need to simplify. The product of 8 and the sum of a number and 4. Answer square

To represent the given phrase as an algebraic expression, we need to break down the phrase:<br /><br />1. "A number" is represented by the letter \( x \).<br />2. "The sum of a number and 4" can be written as \( (x + 4) \).<br />3. "The product of 8 and the sum of a number and 4" means multiplying 8 by the expression \( (x + 4) \).<br /><br />Putting it all together, the algebraic expression is:<br /><br />\[ 8(x + 4) \]<br /><br />So, the answer is:<br /><br />\[ \boxed{8(x + 4)} \]
