What is the value of the expression “eight more than three times the difference of four and a number” when n = 3?

Answer
A
44
B
19
C
17
D
11

Explanation

“The difference of four and a number” means 4 − n. Three times that difference, with eight added, is 3(4 − n) + 8. Substituting n = 3 gives 3(4 − 3) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11, so the correct choice is 11.
