Practice makes perfect

We are asked to write an algebraic expression for the given word phrase. First, recall that a product is the result of a multiplication. ... * ...Here we are multiplying two numbers, w and 737. w * 737 We can now write our final expression. Notice that we can change the order of factors using the Commutative Property of Multiplication. &the product ofa number $w$ and 737 & w * 737 ⇔ 737 w Usually, when multiplying a number and a variable, we can omit the multiplication sign, so our final expression is 737w. Note that this is only one of many ways to algebraically express the given verbal expression.
