1. Rewrite this as
" The difference of thirty-eight and a number n, less 23, is less than eight."
(38 - n) - 23 < 8

2. Start with t, and add the sum of 7 and the square of s. This result equals 10.
t+%2B+%287+%2B+s%5E2%29+=+10

In each of the above, the parentheses are not necessary and can be left off.
