Question

How do I translate the product of h and 4 is subtracted from one-fifth of x is 35 to an equation?

Answer 1

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:

$\frac{1}{5} x-(4*h)=35$

And we can then simplify this by taking out the multiplication sign:

$\frac{1}{5}x-4h=35$

And so since we do not know what x or h is equal to, this is as far as we can go.
