\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Random run down meaning of}\\\huge\textbf{\boxed{some} key terms in pre-algebra or}\\\huge\textbf{algebra in general: \boxed{\downarrow}}


\large\textsf{\boxed{Product} means \underline{\underline{multiply/multiplication}}}\\\\\large\textsf{\boxed{Sum} means \underline{\underline{add/addition}}}\\\\\large\textsf{\boxed{Quotient} means \underline{\underline{divide/division}}}\\\\\large\textsf{\boxed{Difference} means \underline{\underline{subtract/subtraction}}}\\\\\large\textsf{\boxed{Of} meaning as \underline{\underline{multiplication}} (sometimes)}


\huge\textbf{Now, let's \boxed{answer} your given question:}


\huge\textbf{The \boxed{question \ reads}:}


\large\textsf{\boxed{ADD} \underline{3} to the \boxed{PRODUCT} of \underline{12} \& the \boxed{SUM} of \underline{14 and 19}}


\huge\textbf{A small checklist for better }\\\huge\textbf{understanding your equation:}


\large\textsf{We know that have to \underline{multiply} 12 since it is the product of the}\\\large\textsf{equation }\large\checkmark


\large\textsf{We also know that we are \underline{adding} 3 because it simply tells us to }\large\checkmark


\large\textsf{Lastly, we also know that we're \underline{adding} 14 \& 19 because it is the sum}\\\large\textsf{part of the equation but it most likely be in parentheses because it is}\\\large\textsf{a different kind of \underline{addition} equation, if that makes sense to you }\large\checkmark


\huge\textbf{Now, we have that information out}\\\huge\textbf{of the way, we can solve for it because,}\\\huge\textbf{our checklist made it a little bit easier}\\\huge\textbf{to solve.}


\huge\textbf{So, your equation SHOULD look like:}


\large\textsf{3 + 12}*\large\textsf{(14 + 19)}


\huge\textbf{If you're having trouble locating it}\\\huge\textbf{in the answer choices, it should simply}\\\huge\textbf{be:}


\huge\boxed{\frak{Option\ C. 3 + 12 * (14 + 19)}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\textsf{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
