To represent "a number" as an unknown number, we use x. The problem translates to 10.2x = 14, where x is the unknown number. "The product of 10.2 and a number" can be represented as 10.2x (where x is the unknown number). And "is" means "equals" in mathematical language. So the equation becomes 10.2x = 14.
