Answer:

254t - 29 = t - 81

Explanation:

The word "product" means to multiply.

Therefore, the "product of t and 254" means to multiply t by 254:

  • 254t

The term "fewer than" means to subtract.

Therefore, "29 fewer than" means to subtract 29 from what comes after the word "than".

The term "reduced by" also means to subtract.

Therefore, "reduced by 81" means to subtract 81 from what came before the word "reduced".

Therefore:

"29 fewer than the product of t and 254 equals t reduced by 81":

  • 254t - 29 = t - 81
