Answer:

n=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must multiply [tex]x^{-8}*x^{3}[/tex]. The laws of exponents state that when multiplying exponents of the same base, you can just add the exponents and raise the base to the sum of the exponents. So, [tex]x^{-8}*x^{3}=x^{(-8+3)}=x^{-5}[/tex].  Since our end product is [tex]x^{-5}[/tex], n is equal to -5.
