Answer:


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.
