Mac and his brother Ted collect coins. Mac's collection contains 8 more than twice as many as Ted's. If the total number of coins in the two collections is 74, how many coins are in each collection? If x represents the number of coins in Ted's collection, then which expression represents the number of coins in Mac's collection?

x + 2(8)
2( x + 8)
2 x + 8

the third option makes the most sense because 2 times what ted would be 2x plus 8 more. 2x+8
