Question

8 times the quantity d minus 3

Answer 1

8(d-3)
Whatever is written after the word 'quantity' means the following were in parenthesis.

Answer 2

`8d-3`

Explanation:

We have been given a sentence: 8 times the quantity d minus 3. We are supposed to write an algebraic expression for our given sentence.

We have been given that the quantity is d, so 8 times the quantity would be
`8\cdot d=8d`.

We are also asked to subtract 3 from the product of given quantity and 8, so our expression would be:
`8d-3`.

Therefore, our required expression would be
`8d-3`.
