Step-by-step explanation:
so, what's the difficulty ?
the product of two things means a multiplication. something times something else.
the product of 8 and Vanessa's savings is therefore expressed as ("×" is the multiplication symbol)
8 × v
and five more than that means just to add 5 to that.
so, in total, we have
8 × v + 5
remember that multiplications and divisions must be executed before any +/- operations (except for any brackets telling us otherwise).
