The expression "7 more than the product of 9 and 8" can be translated into mathematical terms as follows:
First, identify the product of 9 and 8, which is written as \(9 \times 8\).
Next, since the phrase says "7 more than" this product, we can express this mathematically as:
\[ (9 \times 8) + 7 \]
From the given response options, this matches the expression \(7 + 9 \times 8\) since addition is commutative (the order of addition does not affect the sum).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
7 + 9 × 8
