answer not submitted
37 less than the product of 15 and a number is 38.
select the statement that is true about the sentence shown.
answer choices
the solution is -5.
the solution is 60.
the equation that represents this sentence is 37−15x=38 .
the equation that represents this sentence is 15x−37=38 .

The answer is:  [D]: 

         "The equation that represents this sentence is 15x − 37 = 38."


Note:  The product of "15 and {"a number"} " ;  can be represented by:

  "15 * x"  ; or "15x" ; in which "x" is the "unknown number.

"37 LESS THAN {this value}; or "37 LESS THAN {15x} ;

is represented by:   15x − 37 ;  which we are told is equal to "38" .

So;   15x − 37 = 38 . 

This corresponds with: 

"Answer choice:  [D]:

  "The equation that represents this sentence is 15x − 37 = 38. "
