So we know that the word 'product' means multiplication, and that means that h and 4 are being multiplied. Also, one-fifth of x is another way of saying that one-fifth is being multiplied with x. So then we can construct the equation:
And we can then simplify this by taking out the multiplication sign:
And so since we do not know what x or h is equal to, this is as far as we can go.
