Translate into an equation

Answer 1

"51 is the product of Diego's score and 3" is written as 51=3x. We know this because "is" means "=", and "the product of" means multiplication. Since "Diego's score" is unknown, it would be a number x (multiplied by 3 would make it 3x). The answer to this is 17, because 51/3=17. :)

Answer 2

3d = 51 is the desired equation; its solution is d = 17.

Explanation:

Let d represent Diego's score. Then 3d = 51, or d = 17.
