Question

The product of -3 and the square of a number decreased by 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

$n^{2}(-3) -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the "product of" means the answer to a multiplication problem. That means -3 is being multiplied by a number which is squared. I used the variable "n" for number but you could use any letter you want.

This is what we have so far,

$n^{2}$ x -3 or $n^{2}$(-3)

The term decreased means to reduce or subtract. Which means we are left with....

$n^{2}(-3) -8$

Hope that helps and have a great day!
