If p is the number of passes attempted, then we need to convert the sentence part "8 more than half of the passes" into a mathematical expression. This expression would be (p/2) + 8.

Ahmed Anderson · Answer 2

0.5p + 8 because the quarterback completed 8 more passes (the " + 8" part) than half the number of passes he attempted (the "0.5p" part).
