Step-by-step explanation:

The number represented by p and the number 5 are said to be a product, representing multiplication; 5p (or 5 times the number represented by p)

We are told that there is 10 less than this product, signaling subtraction. So here we have our product (5p) subtracted by 10.

Thus our answer should be: 5p-10
