Question

Translate this phrase into an algebraic expression.

Three less than the product of 15 and Chrissy's score
Use the variable c to represent Chrissy's score.

Answer 1

15c - 3

Explanation:

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

15 x c can also be written as 15c

'3 less than' means subtracting 3 off the answer.

So therefore the answer is:

15c - 3
