We only have one unknown "number," so assume the number is x.

1. Twice a number means multiply the number (x) by 2. Usually it is denoted by 2x. Four more than twice a number means add 4 to twice the number (2x) or 4+2x.

Try the other ones the same way. Note that "difference" means subtract, "product" means multiply, and "quotient" means divide.

These are "expressions" in English that are to be translated to (pre)algebra, using "n" (or any other letter except I or O - too much like 1, 0) in place of "number". So "5 more than twice the sum of 10 and number" is translated to "5 + 2 * (10 + n)", much less wordy!
