"Twice the square of a number" __ 2n^2

"increased by" __ +

"five times the product of the number and three more than the number" __ 5(n)(n+3) __ 5n^2+15n

"is" __ =

"the opposite of" __ -

"the quotient of six and the number" __ 6/n

2n^2+5n^2+15n=-6/n

-----------
"is the opposite of"
The rest is ok, a bit tedious, but I don't know what "the opposite of" means.
