To convert this expression into an equation, let's break down the words:
the product of = multiplication
the total of = addition
So, "the product of 3" means we multiply by 3, and the "total of y and 7", means we add y to 7. In other words, y + 7
Put these all together and you have:

3 x (y + 7) or 3(y + 7)
