Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"

The height of the blue spruce was 45.
We find the mean by adding all of the data points and dividing by the number of data points. We will add the unknown value x and change the number we're dividing by to 7:
(160+320+100+110+200+220+x)/7 = 165
(1110+x)/7 = 165
Multiply both sides by 7:
1110 + x = 1155
Subtract 1110 from both sides:
x = 45
$1.44
each one cost 0.24
0.24 x 6 = 1.44
