(a+b)(c-d)=ac+cb-bd-da\\(n+8)(n-2)=\\(n* n)+(n*8)-(8*2)-(2* n)\\n^2+8n-16-2n\\{\boxed{n^2+6n-16}

If you would like to find the product (n + 8) * (n - 2), you can do this using the following steps:

(n + 8) * (n - 2) = n * n - 2 * n + 8 * n - 8 * 2 = n^2 + 6 * n - 16

The correct result would be n^2 + 6 * n - 16.
