The product of 6 and 3 more than k is 48

Answer 1

"the product of" indicates multiplication, so the phrase "The product of x and y is z" equates to x * y = z. This sentence is structured that way, where

x = 6

y = 3 more than k, or 3+k

z = 48

Therefore, 6 * (3+k) = 48. You can divide by 6 on both sides to get 3 + k = 8, or k=5.
