Question

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION
the product of 5 less than a number and 10

Answer 1

product = multiply

less than = subtract, but you switch around the the order. (example: 8 less than x means x - 8)

"a number" = means that you need to give any variable you want. a, b, c...x is the most common.

answer: (x-5) * 10

Answer 2

Let x = 'a number'
x - 5 = '5 less than a number'
(x-5) * 10 = product of 5 less than a number and 10

So that's your Algebraic Expression

Answer 3

I got the same thing unless you left out a part of a question making it an equation which in that case is solvable

Answer 4

Just looking for an expression, not necessarily an equation
