You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of 3 and a number decreased by 50
Let x stand for the unknown number.
Decreased is the same thing as subtraction.
Product means that you are going to multiply by 3.
So, the expression is 3(x-50)
To simplify, use the distributive property and multiply both terms in the parentheses by 3
The answer is 3x-150. This is as far as you can simplify it.
