Question:
7 less than the product of 12 and a number
Answer:
☞ 12b−7
Solution:
• One approach is to read the steps backwards.
• So, we first find " the product of 12 and b ", which can be expressed as: [tex] 12×b[/tex] , which will simplify to [tex]12b[/tex] .
• Now they ask for " seven less ", so we will simply subtract seven from our previous expression, which will give us: [tex]12b−7[/tex]
