Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43

Now do the rest on your own!

We are asked to sum the two trinomials $(-4f^3-5f+16)+(4f^2-f+9)$ . We can start by using the distributive property to remove the parenthesis, giving us $-4f^3-5f+16+4f^2-f+9$ . Next, when we combine like terms, we get $\boxed{-4f^3+4f^2-6f+25}$ . Hope this helped!
