Question

Four more than the product of 2 and a

Answer 1

2a + 4

Explanation:

The key word, "product," means you're multiplying, and since it says the "product of 2 and a," you're multiplying 2 and a. To simplify that, you can write 2a (which is equal to 2 · a).

Since it says four more (key word is more), you need to add four to 2a. Since if you have "less than" or "more than", the product will be before the number we're adding, leaving you with 2a + 4.
