Answer: 6j = 90

It solves to j = 15

============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "product" refers to multiplication. Specifically it is the output or result of multiplication.

Example: The product of 2 and 5 is 10

We could write 6*j, but its common to drop the multiplication symbol when involving variables. Therefore 6*j and 6j are the same thing. Set this equal to 90 to form the equation 6j = 90

Solving the equation involves dividing both sides by 6, so you'd get j = 15
