Write the sentence as an equation.

The product of -4 and -26 gives 104.

 

Solution:-

 

To translate the sentence into an equation, write each part in symbols. First translate “the product of -4 and -26” into symbols.

In words: the product of -4 and -26 given 104

Translate: (-4)(-26)

Now translate the word ”given” into a symbol.

Translate: (-4)(-26) = 104

The number 104 remains the same.

Therefore , the sentence “the product of -4 and -26 gives 104” written as an equation is (-4)(-26) = 104.
