#3.3x#

An expression is not an equation, meaning it has no equal signs, so we don't have to worry about any #y# values.

the product of means multiplication, since a product is what you call the value you get when two things are multiplied.

a number #x# just explains that #x# can be any number, so it is a variable.

You are multiplying the value of #3.3# and #x#. To write it out:

#3.3x#
