Let's read this step by step. First word to decode is sum. This means we need to add. Then we get twice. This means to multiply by 2. Twice a number means we have 2n. And is what we need to add to that 2n, so it is 2n + 13. Is means equals, so we get 2n + 13 = 75.

The original question was to get the equation from the words. The "is" in the original question gives us the placement of the equal sign. So the 75 appears after the equal sign where "sum of twice a number and 13" is before the equal sign.
