Problem One: Seven more than some number
seven = 7
more than means +
some number means a variable, lets say x
so, we get
7 + x
you can also write x + 7.

Problem two: Nine more than some number
nine = 9
more than means +
some number means a variable, lets say y
so, we get
9 + y
you can also write y + 9.
