Choose exactly two answers that are correct. 8 − 3n a. eight decreased by the product 3 and a number b. the difference of 8 and the quotient of 3 and a number c. the difference of eight and the product of 3 and a number d. eight less than 3 times a number

The answers would be;
C. The difference of eight and the product of three and a number, and
A. eight decreased by the product of three and a number
In both, we are decreasing the product (a product is the outcome of multiplying two or more numbers) of three and a number from 8, which is what your equation says, so yah.

8x - 61 = 17add 8x = 88x = 11 (cannot be proven)4(3(7) - 8) = 524(21 - 8) = 5284 - 32 = 52 (proven)

Nope. you have to use the greater than sign
