Question

How do you write the algebraic expression given: the product of 8 and z plus the product of 6.5 and y?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, the "the product of" means to multiply. Therefore we can write "the product of `8` and `z`" as:

`8 xx z` or `8 * z` or what I will use `8z`

We can also write "the product of `6.5` and `y`" as"

`6.5 xx y` or `6.5 * y` or `6.5y`

Now, "plus" means to add so we can add these two products as:

`8z + 6.5y`
