Sagot :

Answer:

(9c) - 4=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means 'The answer when you multiply' So we are working in multiplication. ( x )

9c is the multiplication.

It says 'less' which means subtracting to our answer. So we subtract 4. So far our equation is: (9c) - 4 (Brackets are needed as we are multiplying 9 by c and not multiplying 9 by c - 4)

Lastly, it says the answer must be 5 so we add that at the end. So the answer is:

(9c) - 4=5
