8x2 to the second power plus 8.

Answer:

\(2^{5}\)+8

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many expression that equals to 40

\(3^{3}\)+13

\(2^{5}\)+8

Considering first

\(3^{3} +13

[tex]3^{3}\)=3×3×3=27

\(3^{3} +13=27+13

=40

Similarly, considering the second

[tex]2^{5}\)+8

\(2^{5}\)=2×2×2×2×2=32

\(2^5\)+8=32+8= 40

Hence ,  are infinite number of expression.

Hence the answer is \(2^{5}\)+8
