Answer 2

Answer: 4(8-n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 3

Replace key words with variables, numbers, and operations. The words “four times” means multiplication by 4. The words “the difference of” means subtraction inside of parentheses. The subtraction inside the parentheses will be 8 – n because that is the order they appear in the phrase. The expression is 4(8 – n).
