Step 1: Write the equation for each statement.

a) The sum of a number and 3 is 10.
Let the number be xx.

x+3=10x + 3 = 10

b) 12 subtracted from a number is 23.
Let the number be xx.

x−12=23x - 12 = 23

c) 5 times a number is 75.
Let the number be xx.

5x=755x = 75

d) One-sixth of a number is -6.
Let the number be xx.

x6=−6\frac{x}{6} = -6

e) 16 added to three times a number is 1.
Let the number be xx.

3x+16=13x + 16 = 1

f) 5 times a number subtracted from 2 is 12.
Let the number be xx.

2−5x=122 - 5x = 12

g) If you take away 7 from 2 times a number, you get 11.
Let the number be xx.

2x−7=112x - 7 = 11

h) If 3 is added to one-third of a number, you get 6.
Let the number be xx.

x3+3=6\frac{x}{3} + 3 = 6

Here are the equations:

*a) x+3=10\boxed{x + 3 = 10}

*b) x−12=23\boxed{x - 12 = 23}

*c) 5x=75\boxed{5x = 75}

*d) x6=−6\boxed{\frac{x}{6} = -6}

*e) 3x+16=1\boxed{3x + 16 = 1}

*f) 2−5x=12\boxed{2 - 5x = 12}

*g) 2x−7=11\boxed{2x - 7 = 11}

*h) x3+3=6\boxed{\frac{x}{3} + 3 = 6}
