I want to add more example for more explanation 
How do you write an equation representing thirteen less than a number x is three?
We are given "thirteen less than a number x is three," and we are asked to form an equation to model this relationship.

Let's start translating from English to Math. "Thirteen" is 13 and "three" is 3
Now, we have "13 less than a number x is 3."

In math, "is" usually means "equals to." So now we have something more like an equation: "13 less than a number x=3
We are left with "less than a number." We can rewrite this as: x-13=3
