Answer:

Well using key words/phrases here

More than which means add.

Product means multiply.

Is means equal to.

So if we combine this

5 + c * 4 = 7

Well 5 more then the product of a number which is (c) and 4 is 7

That would be your eqaution.

To solve, just solve normally like any algebraic equation/

5+4c = 7

4c=2

C= 1/2

1/2 or 0.5 is the unknown number or C
