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"

Answer:
30 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of tin in first alloy + amount of tin in second alloy = amount of tin in mixture
0.15 (20) + 0.10 x = 0.12 (20 + x)
3 + 0.10 x = 2.4 + 0.12 x
0.6 = 0.02 x
x = 30
