Answer:

m - mn

Explanation:

The two numbers are denoted by m and n respectively.

From the question, we can deduce the following points;

- the difference between m and another variable (mn).

- product or multiplication of m and n.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

m - (m*n)

m - mn
