This question requires an understanding of the definition of product. In mathematics, the product is the result of multiplication. For example, the product of 5 and 4 is 20, and this can be rewritten as 5 * 4 = 20.
This question asks us what the product is of 15 and a number. This number could potentially be any number, and we are not exactly sure of its value. For example, if this number was 2, then we would have the product of 15 and 2, which is 30. This can be rewritten a 15 * 2 = 30.
However, since we are not sure of the value of a number, the answer must be in the form of 15 * ("a number") = product.
Algebraically, we can rewrite the answer of the product as 15 * x. We can use any letter or symbol to represent "a number."
