Answer:

13m - 4

Explanation:

Let m be Mabel's score.

The product of 13 and Mabel's score can be written as:

13 × m.

Four less than something means that we subtract 4 from it.

So, four less than the product of 13 and Mabel's score can be written as:

13 × m - 4.

In algebraic expression, using the variable m to represent Mabel’s score, the translation is:

13m - 4
