Question

Seven more than the product of a number and
8
is equal to
5

Answer 1

8x + 7 = 5

A "product" is the result of a multiplication operation.  So the product of a number, ( which we will call x,) and 8 would be 8x. (Or 8*"x" number) 7 more than that product would be 8x + 7 = 5

Hope that this helps!
