Variable p is 2 more than variable d.
`Variable p` means p
`is` means equals "="
`2 more than`  means add 2 or plus 2

p = 2 + d

does that make sense?

spring98 · Answer

yes thanks alot! you actually do explain good!

perl · Answer

for the second part 
"Variable p is 1 less than variable d."
`Variable p is` means "p =" 
We want one less than variable d, that means `d -1` 

Combining this we have: 

p = d - 1
