Question

Write an equation to represent the following statement. The product of 7 and j is 91.

Answer 1

Product of 7 and j: 7j

is 91: = 91

Together, this would be:

7j = 91

To solve this, we must divide 91 by 7

91/7 = 13

So, J = 13

7(13) = 91

Answer 2

Answer: 7j = 91

This is the same as 7*j = 91

The asterisk or star symbol means multiplication. It is often left out because 7j implies "7 times j" just like 7*j does. It's just one less item to type in. The term product is the result of multiplying two or more factors.
