The expression that is correctly paired is three more than the quotient of nine and a number cubed, decreased by 2 =
3+9/n^3-2

Step-by-step explanation

All the other expressions are not eligible to be paired with the description

consider the first description

The correct expression for this is
n^3/4 +8-2

consider the second description

The correct expression for this is
6(5-n^2)

consider the fourth description

The correct expression for this is
2(n^2-3)

The only expression that matches its description is the third expression.
