Question

write an algebraic expression for '5 less than the product of x and y'.​

Answer 1

I hope this helped you

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics 'less than' is considered as '-' (minus)

So the answer is = 5-xy

Answer 2

xy-5=25

Explanation:

The word quotient tells us that we'll be dividing. Thus, we now have 'xy'

And when we say "five less than", we'll obviously be subtracting

5

from this. Also, this expression is equal to

25

. We get

xy−5=25

Hope this helps!
