Answer:

"sum" means added together, "product" means multiplied

Step-by-step explanation:

Word problems like this are fun. If you're taking the sum of x and y, you write that as x+y. If you take the product of x and y, that is written xy. the sum of a number and the product of 5 and 6, means the two terms will be added, but the latter term is a multiplier of 5 and 6.

Or, in algebra, this would be (x + (5)(6))
