Question

Translate this sentence into an equation "the product of Mai's score and 2 is 32"

Answer 1

The word product tells us that we will be multiplying, the word "of" is where the multiplication sign goes, the word "is" is where the equals sign goes, and Mai's score is the unknown, x. In equation form, then, that would look like this:

2x=32

the product of 2 and Mai's score is 2 times x or 2x; "is" means equals. There you go!
