(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.

Answer:
Length = 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
If x = 2
Perimeter = 8x - 4
= 8(2) - 4
= 16 - 4
= 12 inches
Width = 3x - 4
= 3(2) - 4
= 6 - 4
= 2 inches
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
12 = 2(length + 2)
12 = 2length + 4
12 - 4 = 2 length
8 = 2 length
Length = 8/2
Length = 4 inches
Answer
27 days
Step-by-step explanation:
father= 45 days
oldest son + father=27 days
youngest + father= 36 days
45-27=18
45-36=9
18+9=27
so it would take 27 days for both sons to complete the house
18 days=oldest son
9 days =youngest son
