8friends went to a hockey game the price of admission per person was $x. 4 of the friends paid an extra 6 dollars for a players guide book write and simplify an expression that represents the total cost

Let y=total cost

We have 4 friends that paid an extra $6 each and 4 friends that paid regular admission.

Friends that paid extra= 4(x+6)
Friends that paid regular= 4x

Now we need to add those together.

y= 4(x+6) + 4x
Distribute the 4
y= (4*x) + (4*6) +4x
y=4x + 24 +4x
y=8x + 24

Hope this helps!!  :)
