Answer 1

First,we need to remember what product means. The product is the answer to a multiplication problem.

The product of 2 less than a number and eight

We do know that we have two quantities being multiplied,

(2 less than a number) × (eight)

We don't know what the number is, we can use any variable to represent it, such as n.

(2 less than a number) × (eight)

(n - 2) × 8 2 less than 5 is 3, or 5 - 2 = 3

8(n - 2)
