a number t increased by the sum of seven and the square of another number s is ten.
.
"increased" -- think addition
"sum" -- again, think addition
"is" -- equal sign
.
Then we have:
"a number t increased by the sum of seven and the square of another number s" = "ten"
.
Breaking down the first part:
"a number t increased by the sum of seven and the square of another number s"
t + (7+s^2)
.
Finally, we have:
t + (7+s^2) = 10
Note: ^ is a symbol for exponentiation
