4 and x is the product of 4 and 4.x

Answer 2

`1-4x`

Explanation:

A product of two numbers is the result we get from multiplying them together. The product of 4 and x would then be
`4* x`, which we can rewrite as
`4x`. We're then told by the statement "one minus the product..." that we'll be taking this
`4x` away from 1, giving us the answer
`1-4x`.
