8 less than the product of 7 and x

Answer 1

Hello Nae,

You are being asked to provide an algebraic expression with the information given in the problem. All of the information has been provided for the solver. Whenever you see the word "product" it means you are multiplying 2 terms. For example, if I ask you for the product of x and 5 the answer will simply be 5x. Had I asked you to give me three less than the product of 5 and x , the answer would be 5x - 3

Taking your problem, you are being asked to provide a similar answer.

Therefore, the expression we are looking for is 7x - 8.

7x - 8
