Hey there!
“Product” is multiplication so let’s say it means “multiply” & “difference” is subtraction so let’s say it means “subtract”
p & q is/are the variables, whereas -12 is a coefficient
“The [PRODUCT of -12] and the [DIFFERENCE of p & q]”
Product = multiply/multiplication
“-12 ×”
DIFFERENCE
“p - q”
So, based on that information we have your answer: “-12 × p - q”
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
