Given that :- Horatio have 8 machines and packaging of each part have weight 2 pounds, it means total packing weight of 8 machine is 2*8=16

now, it is given that if each art have x pounds of weight then the expression which represents the total weight of parts and its packing is:-

let total weight is y then expression is => y=8x+16

now, it is given that each part weights 6 pounds then:-

y=8*6+16

y=48+16

y=64 (Answer)
