The produce of three and the sum of a number and eight

3(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

"The product of three and the sum of a number and eight".

First, note that:

1) Product means multiply.

2) Sum means addition.

With that in mind, also note the order of operations. The order of operations is defined as PEMDAS, or:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Also, let "a number" be denoted as the variable, x.

~

Firstly, "the sum of a number and eight": x + 8

Next, "The product of...": 3 *

Putting the two parts together will generate: 3(x + 8)

3(x + 8) is your answer.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .
