Answer:
y = 5x + 2
Explanation:
“the product of a number and five is two less than the number.” numbers unknown so call them x and y, so you have to find the product of x and 5, which is simply 5x, then you know that 5x is two less than y, so you add 2 to balance the equation, which gives you 5x + 2 = y
edit: the question refers to 2 unknown numbers so 5x - 2 is not the answer as you need an equation not an expression
