What's the nth term for this sequence?
1(8-7), 2(10-8), 3(12-9), 4(14-10)
I know if you simplify it the nth term is n squared, but what is the nth term in the form a(b-c) and how do you find it?

Notice that a is simply sequential so it will be "n". The b term increases by two each time and starts at 8 so 2n+6. Finally, c is sequential beginning at 7 so n+6.
[n][(2n+6) - (n+6)]

Well, if you look at the first four, you can clearly see that (A(B-C)) A is going up by one each time, C is going up by one each time, and B is going up by two each time. So I'd just write them all out until you reach the ninth one. (I'm assuming by nth you mean ninth, but I don't know for sure if that's what you mean...)
1(8-7)
2(10-8)
3(12-9)
4(14-10)
5(16-11)
6(18-12)
7(20-13)
8(22-14)
9(24-15)

it would be n(n) which is n^2
because the difference of b and c equates to a, the value inside and the value outside is equal. So for instance the 100th term is
100(b-c) you know b-c is 100, which would just be 100^2
