Hello Cameron,
When you see the word "product" in a word problem, it means you multiply the terms given, which in this case are 8 and x. When you see the word "less" that means you will subtract. So, in light of this information:
8x - 48 is the proper expression you are seeking.
I hope this assists and that you have a great week. Should you have feedback or further questions, please fee free to leave them in the comment section located directly beneath this solution. If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to any tutor for assistance. Best!
