A number increased by 5

x + 5

7 less than a number

x - 7

3 more than twice a number

2x + 3

4 decreased by the quotient of a number and 7

4 - (x � 7)

16 increased by a number is 27.

16 + y = 27

The difference of twice a number and 3 equals -4.

2y - 3 = -4

The product of 2 and a number is 36.

2y = 36

(n + 6) � 3

The product of a number and 2

2n

A number divided by 16

n � 16

Twice a number

2n

The sum of a number and -9 equals 24

n + -9 = 24

The product of 3 and a number is twice 23.

3n = 2(23)

A number times -5 is 10

-5n = 10

The sum of -4 times a number and 3 is 27.

-4n + 3 = 27

13 is equal to 5 minus a number.

13 = 5 - n
