1) a divided by 6 = a/6 or 1/6 a

2) halve b and add 5 = b/2 + 5 or ½b + 5
3) multiply c by 3 and subtract 7 = 3c - 7
4) subtract d from 12 = 12 - d
5) subtract 12 from e = e - 12
6) divide f by 4 and add 7 = f/4 + 7 or ¼f + 7
7) add 2 to g and then double = 2(g+2) or 2g + 4
8) add 5 to h and then halve = (h+5)/2 or ½
9) subtract 4 from i and then multiply by 5 = 5(i - 4) or (h+5)
5i - 20
10) add 6 to j and then divide by 3 = (j+6)/3 or /3 (j+6)
1

11) multiply k by 2 and then subtract 7 = 2k - 7

12) subtract 7 from l and then divide by 2 = ½ (l - 7) or (l-7)/2
13) divide m by 3 and then add 10 = m/3 + 10 or 1/3 m+
14) add 10 to n and then divide by 4 = (n+10)/3 or ¼
10 (n +
15) add 5 to o and then halve it = (o+5)/2 10)(o+5)
or ½
16) multiply p by itself = p2
17) divide q by 5 then add 6 = q/5 + 6 or 1/5 q +
18) add 6 to r then divide by 5 = (r+6)/5 or 16/5
19) add 1 to s then multiply it by 6 = 6(s+1) (r+6)
20) subtract t from 6 then divide it by 4 = (6-t)/4 or ¼ (6-t)
21) multiply u by itself and subtract 6 = u2 - 6
22) add 1 to v and square the answer = (v+1)2
23) subtract 2 from w then divide by 7 = (w-2)/7
24) add 4 to x and divide 5 by the answer = 5/(x+4) or 5÷(x+4)
