Answer:

x=y-3

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so first, we have to understand what the words mean.

PRODUCT: means the answer to a multiplication question

DECREASED: taken away or to make smaller

AND: addition or add

We can use X for "product" and Y for "a number"

now we can write it out:  

x=y+5-3

OR

y+5-3=x
