Good Afternoon, Kevin,
Use x as the variable to represent the number. Whenever you see the word "is" you can translate that to mean equal. Product - as I am sure you know - is the result of multiplying. With that all said, here is the equation that comes directly from the information provided.
5x - 2 = 93
If you need to solve the above equation, you first add 2 to both sides of the equation. Then you will divide both sides of the equation to solve for x. This is what that process looks like.
5x - 2 = 93
5x = 95
x = 19
Always check your work when solving equations. For example, if you plug the value of 19 into the original equation, you will see that the value checks.
I hope I have assisted you with this problem and wish you a great rest of the day and week. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to leave them under this question in the comment section. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact any tutor. Best!
