Yes, you’re right. It is 3x -8.

~*I think, the property that was illustrated by 17 * 6 = 6 * 17 is Commutative property which states that changing the order of the factors does not affect the product. 🙂

3X-8=N

3(9)-8=N

27-8=N

19=N

The property illustrated is the COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION -Which states that any change in the place or position of the factors does not change the answer.

-8 -8

3x= -8

x= -2.666667

and….

commutative property of multiplication

change division to multiplication vice versa or/and addition to subtraction vice versa

when that is done, take out the variables
