$2n-4=12$. Doubling n, subtracting 4, and equating to 12 captures the described operation.

$n-4=12$. Subtracting 4 from n and setting it equal to 12 models the relationship.

$y<10$. The strict inequality $y < 10$ denotes y is below 10 without equality.

$y>10$. The strict inequality $y > 10$ denotes y exceeds 10 without equality.

$y\le 10$. The inequality $y \le 10$ indicates y is 10 or any value smaller.

$y\ge 10$. The inequality $y \ge 10$ indicates y is 10 or any value greater.

$x=8+3$. Setting x equal to 8 plus 3 defines x as 3 more than 8.

$8=x+3$. Setting 8 equal to x plus 3 equates 8 to being 3 more than x.

$\frac{1}{2}x$. Multiplying x by $\frac{1}{2}$ calculates half of the number x.

$\frac{5}{x}$. Dividing 5 by x represents the quotient with 5 as the dividend.

$6x$. Multiplying 6 by x expresses the product of the two values.

$9-x$. Subtracting x from 9 denotes the difference where 9 is the minuend.

$x-9$. Subtracting 9 from x denotes the difference where x is the minuend.

$3x+4$. Adding 4 to the product of 3 and x directly represents their sum.

$3(x+4)$. Parentheses ensure the sum of x and 4 is calculated before multiplying by 3.

$x-7$. Subtracting 7 from x expresses a value that is 7 smaller than the number x.

$x+5$. Adding 5 to x represents a value that is 5 greater than the number x.

$2x+7$. Multiplying x by 2 and adding 7 represents increasing twice the number by 7.

$2x-7$. Multiplying x by 2 and then subtracting 7 captures 7 less than twice the number.

$x=ky$. Setting x equal to k times y models direct proportionality with constant k.

$\frac{x}{4}=9$. Dividing x by 4 and setting equal to 9 expresses the ratio equaling 9.

$3x=21$. Multiplying x by 3 and setting equal to 21 equates the product to 21.

$x+5=17$. Adding x and 5, then setting equal to 17, represents their sum equaling 17.

$2n-4=12$. Treating 2n as a quantity and subtracting 4, set equal to 12, fits the phrasing.
