Question

Write a verbal expression for 3n - 8.

Answer 1

(B) 8 less than the product of 3 and n

Here, we are given an equation 3n - 8

Let us consider each of the options one by one

(A) the product of 3, n and 8 will be written as 24n. Hence this isn't the correct answer.

(B) 8 less than the product of 3 and n will be written as 3n - 8. This matches our equation and hence is the correct answer.

(C) n minus 8 times 3 will be written as 24 - n. Hence, this is also incorrect.

(D) 3 times n less than 8 will be written as 8 - 3n. Thus, this is also eliminated.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
