Product meaning multiplication of numbers, and your numbers are: n to the third which is an exponent, therefore n^3. And the other number is 6 so put that together and get n^3 * 6. Now the word decreased by means that the number after by is being subtracted from the prior number, so that means:
n^3 * 6 - y
or you can use parenthesis to make this clearer.
(n^3 * 6)-y
Remark
Interesting way to teach this problem. I'll see if I can make a table that answers the question as it is presented.
Now all you need do is collect the nine terms from the table and put the like ones together if there are any.
