DEFINITIONS

Algebraic word problems are questions that require translating sentences to equations. The equations we need to write will only involve basic arithmetic operations and a single variable. Usually, the variable represents an unknown quantity in a real-life scenario.

SOLUTION STEPS

Step 1: Name the variable.

The variable, in this case, is n.

Step 2: Identify the mathematical operation in this mathematical statement.

Product refers to multiplication. Therefore, we will be using the multiplication operation for the question.

Step 3: Write out the algebraic expression for the statement: "The product of 7 and a number".

Since we are representing the number with n, the product of n and 7 will be given to be:


\Rightarrow7\cdot n

ANSWER:

The correct option is OPTION B.
