I need to know how to write these following sentences into equations. 


<pre>
1.  Eight times a number plus 6 less than twice the number is 34.    8x + (2x-6) = 34.


2.  26 more than the product of a number and 17 is (-42).            17x + 26 = -42.


3.  Twelve less than the quotient of a number and 8 is (-1).         {{{x/8-12}}} = -1.
