The expression "the product of a number and negative ten minus three" can be written as:
-10x - 3
where "x" is the number being referred to.
To evaluate this expression for a specific value of "x," you would substitute that value in for "x" and simplify the expression using the order of operations (PEMDAS). For example, if "x" is 2:
-10(2) - 3 = -20 - 3 = -23

Let's call the number "x". The product of a number and negative ten is -10x. Subtracting three from -10x gives: -10x - 3. Therefore, the expression "the product of a number and negative ten minus three" can be written as: -10x-3 I significantly trust my answer to be correct if that's any condolence!
