Bonjour Susan !

Actually I did a bit of research, and the version recommended by the Académie Française, the Littré dictionary and other reliable sources is "Deux multiplié par cinq *égale* dix." (rather than "… égalent …").
Thanks to you, I've now updated the lesson accordingly.

Merci et à bientôt !
