(A)
Let y represents the golf balls.
Since Raul has 5 boxes of golf balls and his father gives him another 8 golf balls.
⇒ Total number of golf ball Raul has = 5y + 8 ......[1]
(B)
Given: y =4;
Substitute in [1] we get;
Number of golf ball Raul has = 5(4)+8 = 20 + 8 = 28
Therefore, 28 golf balls does Raul have altogether ;

Raul has a total of golf balls represented by the expression 5y + 8. If y = 4, he has 28 golf balls altogether. So, substituting the value of y into the expression gives the total number of golf balls Raul has.
