Answer 2

of five??

Answer 3

or seven

Answer 4

5 more than p = p+5
the other part of the product is 7
(a produce is 2 entities multipiled together - eg product of x and 5 is 5x)

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

its a little ambiguous

Answer 8

yes, it is -.- erm :/ but thanks though :)

Answer 9

no - its p+5 times 7
- you put the p + 7 in parentheses because you are multiplying 'all of it:-

= 7(p + 5)
