Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.
Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3
