# Brief Explanations:
To determine the formula after moving right 3 cells, we analyze each part:
- For the first term $ C\$5 $: The column $ C $ moves right 3 cells ( $ C + 3 = F $ ), and the row (5) is absolute (so remains 5), resulting in $ F\$5 $.
- For the second term $ \$D\$2 $: Both column ( $ D $) and row (2) are absolute, so they remain $ \$D\$2 $ (wait, no—wait, when moving right, the column of $ \$D\$2 $: wait, no, the second term is $ \$D\$2 $, but when the formula is moved right, the cell references in the formula adjust. Wait, no, the original formula is $ = C\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $. When moving right 3 cells:
  - The first cell reference: $ C\$5 $: column $ C $ moves right 3 ( $ C \to F $ ), row 5 is absolute (so $ F\$5 $).
  - The second cell reference: $ \$D\$2 $: both column and row are absolute, so no change? Wait, no—wait, $ \$D\$2 $ is a cell reference. When the formula is moved right, the column of $ \$D\$2 $ would... Wait, no, $ \$D\$2 $ is an absolute reference (both column and row), so it doesn't change. Wait, no, that's not right. Wait, the formula is in a cell, and when we move the formula right 3 cells, each relative or mixed reference in the formula adjusts. Let's break down each part:
    - $ C\$5 $: column is relative ( $ C $ ), row is absolute ( $ 5 $ ). So when moving right 3 columns, the column becomes $ C + 3 = F $, row remains 5: $ F\$5 $.
    - $ \$D\$2 $: column $ D $ is absolute, row $ 2 $ is absolute. So no change: $ \$D\$2 $? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the second term is $ \$D\$2 $, but when the formula is moved right, the cell $ \$D\$2 $ is an absolute reference, so it stays $ \$D\$2 $? No, that's incorrect. Wait, no—wait, the formula is $ = C\$5 * \$D\$2 - \$E3 $. When we move the formula right 3 cells, each cell reference in the formula is adjusted as per their relative/absolute status:
      - $ C\$5 $: column (C) is relative, row (5) is absolute. So moving right 3 columns: column becomes $ C + 3 = F $, row remains 5: $ F\$5 $.
      - $ \$D\$2 $: column (D) is absolute, row (2) is absolute. So no change: $ \$D\$2 $? Wait, but option C is $ = F\$5*\$G\$2 - \$H3 $, option D is $ = F\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $. Wait, I think I messed up the second term. Wait, $ \$D\$2 $: when the formula is moved right, the column of $ \$D\$2 $ – no, $ \$D\$2 $ is a cell reference. Wait, no, the formula is using $ \$D\$2 $ as a multiplier. So when the formula is moved right 3 cells, the column of $ \$D\$2 $ would... Wait, no, $ \$D\$2 $ is an absolute reference, so it doesn't change. Wait, but that would mean the second term is $ \$D\$2 $, but option C has $ \$G\$2 $, option D has $ \$D\$2 $. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the second term. Wait, let's re-express:

Original formula: $ = C\$5 * \$D\$2 - \$E3 $

Moving right 3 cells:

- $ C\$5 $: column (C) is relative, row (5) is absolute. So column becomes $ C + 3 = F $, row remains 5: $ F\$5 $.
- $ \$D\$2 $: column (D) is absolute, row (2) is absolute. So no change: $ \$D\$2 $? But option C has $ \$G\$2 $, option D has $ \$D\$2 $. Wait, maybe the second term is $ \$D\$2 $, but when moving right, the column of $ \$D\$2 $ is... Wait, no, $ \$D\$2 $ is an absolute reference, so it's fixed. So the second term remains $ \$D\$2 $? But that's not matching the options. Wait, option C is $ = F\$5*\$G\$2 - \$H3 $, option D is $ = F\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $. Wait, maybe I messed up the second term. Wait, the original second term is $ \$D\$2 $, but maybe it's a mixed reference? No, $ \$D\$2 $ is absolute (both column and row). Wait, perhaps the error is in my analysis. Let's check the third term: $ \$E3 $. Column $ E $ is absolute, row $ 3 $ is relative. When moving right 3 columns, the column of $ \$E3 $: column $ E $ is absolute, so it remains $ E $? Wait, no—wait, $ \$E3 $: column $ E $ is absolute ( $ \$E $ ), row $ 3 $ is relative. So when moving right, the row doesn't change (since we're moving horizontally), but the column is absolute, so $ \$E3 $ remains $ \$E3 $? But that's not matching the options. Wait, option C has $ \$H3 $, option D has $ \$E3 $. Wait, I think I made a mistake in the direction of movement. Wait, moving right 3 cells: the formula is in a cell, and when we move it right 3 cells, the cell references in the formula adjust as follows:

- For a mixed reference $ C\$5 $ (column relative, row absolute): moving right 3 columns, column becomes $ C + 3 = F $, row remains 5: $ F\$5 $.
- For $ \$D\$2 $ (absolute column, absolute row): no change: $ \$D\$2 $? But option C has $ \$G\$2 $, which would be if the column was relative. Wait, maybe $ \$D\$2 $ is a relative column? No, the $ \$ $ before $ D $ makes it absolute. Wait, maybe the original formula's second term is $ D\$2 $ (mixed, column relative, row absolute), but it's written as $ \$D\$2 $ (absolute column, absolute row). That must be the case. Wait, no, the original formula is $ = C\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $. So $ \$D\$2 $ is absolute (both). So when moving right, $ \$D\$2 $ stays. Then the third term: $ \$E3 $: column $ E $ is absolute, row $ 3 $ is relative. When moving right, the row doesn't change (horizontal movement), so $ \$E3 $ stays. But option D is $ = F\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $, which matches: $ F\$5 $ (from $ C\$5 $ moving right 3), $ \$D\$2 $ (absolute, no change), $ \$E3 $ (absolute column, relative row, horizontal movement so row unchanged). Option C has $ \$G\$2 $ (which would be if $ D\$2 $ was relative column) and $ \$H3 $ (if $ E3 $ was relative column). So the correct answer should be D? Wait, no, wait option C is $ = F\$5*\$G\$2 - \$H3 $, option D is $ = F\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $. Let's re-express:

Original formula: $ = C\$5 * \$D\$2 - \$E3 $

After moving right 3 cells:

- $ C\$5 $: column $ C $ (relative) moves right 3 → $ F $, row 5 (absolute) → $ F\$5 $.
- $ \$D\$2 $: column $ D $ (absolute) and row 2 (absolute) → $ \$D\$2 $ (no change).
- $ \$E3 $: column $ E $ (absolute) and row 3 (relative) → since we moved right (horizontal), row 3 remains 3, column $ E $ remains $ E $ → $ \$E3 $.

So the formula becomes $ = F\$5 * \$D\$2 - \$E3 $, which is option D. Wait, but earlier I thought maybe the second term was wrong, but no— $ \$D\$2 $ is absolute, so it doesn't change. So the correct answer is D.

Wait, but let's check the options again:

A. $ = C\$8*\$D\$5 - \$E6 $ → incorrect (row changed in first term, row and column in second, row in third).

B. $ = C\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E6 $ → incorrect (first term column not changed, third term row changed).

C. $ = F\$5*\$G\$2 - \$H3 $ → incorrect (second term column changed, third term column changed).

D. $ = F\$5*\$D\$2 - \$E3 $ → correct (first term column changed to F, second term unchanged, third term unchanged).

Yes, so the correct answer is D.
