~~~ 12 more than Jose's age is 75. ~~~

oryzae · Answer

Using J to represent Jose's age;

J + 12 = 75.

"more than" indicates addition, and 75 would be the total sum.

What about if it says, "68 decreased by Donnie's savings is 10." ? @Oryzae

oryzae · Answer

That's a bit weirdly worded... but I'm assuming it means "decreased by" means subtracting D, Donnie's savings.

68 - D = 10.
