Required

Determine the expression

First, we determine the product of 12 and 15.

[tex]Product = 12 * 15[/tex]

[tex]Product = 180[/tex]

So, the statement can be presented as: 87 less than 180.

less than, as used in this question means minus

This implies that:

[tex]x= 180 - 87[/tex]

or

[tex]x = 15 * 12 - 87[/tex]

Solving further:

[tex]x = 93[/tex]
