Answer
4 less than the product of 3 and a number t
Work Step by Step
We first see that t is being multiplied by 3. Thus, we denote this by saying "the product of 3 and t." However, 4 is being subtracted from 3t, so we know that the answer will be 4 less than whatever value for 3t we obtain. Thus, we denote this by saying four less than the product of 3 and a number t.
