Write the phrase as an expression. 20 less than the product of −2.5 and a number x

-2.5x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5x-20

-2.5x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

"20 less than..." means that you are subtracting 20 from something else, and that something else is usually the next thing in the phrase. it's tricky because it's first in the phrase, but in the expression, it will come last, or after the next operation (which, in this case, is "the product of -2.5 and a number x). the key is to pay attention to the wording. "the product of -2.5 and a number x" is something that can stand alone, but "20 less than" depends on something else, so that's generally how you can tell that it's going to be written after something else, if that makes sense.

"...the product of -2.5 and a number x" means that you are multiplying -2.5 and x. "a number x" just means that x is a variable and its numeric value is currently unknown.

so, as an expression, this would be -2.5x - 20. i hope this helps and i hope my explanation made sense lol! have a lovely rest of your day <3
