Correct option is second one that is 3y – 8 = 22
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Need to determine the equation which represents the statement: <em>"</em><em>The product of a number y and 3, less 8, is equal to 22"</em>
There are four option given.
Lets first create our equation from given.
Product of a number y and 3 = 3 x y = 3y
Product of a number y and 3 less 8 means 3y less 8 = 3y – 8
And as Product of a number y and 3 less 8 is equal to 22
=> 3y – 8 = 22
On comparing our equation with the given option we can conclude that correct option is second one that is 3y – 8 = 22
