Question

3 Write a numerical expression to model the words. Subtract 1 from the product of 4 and 5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello!

After reading the question you have provided I have come up with the correct numerical expression:

4x5-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To come up with this solution you need to keep in mind some of the terminoloy being used.

The word "subtract" comes from the action of subtraction

The word "product" comes from the action of multiplication

Thus, using those terminologies correctly, you can then deduce that when the question says "the product of 4 and 5" means "multiplying 4 and 5 together".

So you get the first part being 4x5

Then, you add in the last part of "subract 1" from the "product of 4 and 5":

4x5-1

Remember to keep in mind the rule of "PEMDAS"

You always need to keep the multiplication portion of the equation in front of any subtraction, or addition in any given equation.

Answer 2

It would be (4 x 5) - 1

Though the parentheses aren’t needed here so

4 x 5 - 1
