thought sum is addition and product was multiplication.

A case of beer = 24 = hours in a day – go figure.

2 × 15 – 6 is an expression
2 × 15 – 6 = 24 is an equation

As fond as Gabby is of money, I’m surprised that a numbers problem bothers her.

I would have written 4 X 6 as the answer.

How do you write an expression? .BTW I agree – the answer is (2 * 15) – 6 = 24

oh, and that case of beer sounds about right.

@Hunter7
The equal sign makes an expression an equation.
In the expression ‘2x + 7’ you can’t solve for x because x can be all numbers, positive & negative including zero.
The equation ‘2x + 7 = 27’ has only one answer, which is 10.2(10) + 7 = 20 +7 = 27
