This would be written as #y(8x)#.

Explanation:

This can't be solved because there are two variables, but it can be written as #y(8x)#. According to the order of operations, anything in parentheses should be solved first, and then multiplied.

To solve this, one would multiply 8 by #x#, and multiply their product by #y#.
