21 _________ x + 7 = 10 A. seven less than 10 is x
22. _________ 10 - 7 = x B. the sum of 10  and 7 is x
23. _________ x - 7 = 10 C. the sum of seven and x is 10
24. _________ 10 + 7 = x D. the difference between seven and x is 10

25. _________ 16y = 32 A. sixteen less than thirty-two is  y
26. _________ y (32 - 16) = 32 B. the quotient of thirty-two and y is sixteen
27. _________ 32- 16= y C. the product of sixteen and y is thirty-two
28. _________ 32/y = 16 D. y times the difference of 32 and 16 is thirty-two

29. _________ 2x +4 = 8 A. twice the sum of x and 4 is eight
30. _________ 2 (x + 4) = 8 B. two more than the product of 4 and x is eight
31. _________ 4x - 8 = 2 C. eight less than the product of 4 and x is two
32. _________ 4x + 2 = 8 D. four more than the product of 2 and x is eight

33. _________ 3n - 5 = 7 A. three times the difference of n and five is seven
34. _________ 3 (n - 5) = 7 B. five less than the product of 3 and n is seven
35. _________ 3n + 5 = 17 C. the product of 3 and ni decreased by seven is five
36. _________ 3n - 7 = 5 D. five more than the product of three and n is seventeen

37. _________ 4x - 2 = 10 A. four times a number x is two less than ten
38. _________ 4x + 2 = 10 B. four times the difference of x and two is ten
39. _________ 4x = 10 - 2 C. two less than four times a number x is ten
40. _________ 4 (x - 2) 10 D. four times a number x increased by two is ten
