[tex]\[ x + 2 \][/tex]

2. Two less than a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x - 2 \][/tex]

3. Half of a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{x}{2} \][/tex]

4. Twice a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2x \][/tex]

5. Two decreased by a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2 - x \][/tex]

6. The quotient of a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and 12:
[tex]\[ \frac{x}{12} \][/tex]

7. Twice a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] decreased by 15 is equal to -27:
[tex]\[ 2x - 15 = -27 \][/tex]

8. Nine less than seven times a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is -6:
[tex]\[ 7x - 9 = -6 \][/tex]

9. The sum of a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and eight is less than two:
[tex]\[ x + 8 \ \textless \ 2 \][/tex]

10. Eleven increased by a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is -12:
[tex]\[ 11 + x = -12 \][/tex]

11. Seven plus five times a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is greater than or equal to -9:
[tex]\[ 7 + 5x \geq -9 \][/tex]

12. Eight times a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] increased by 6 is 62:
[tex]\[ 8x + 6 = 62 \][/tex]

13. One half of a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is equal to 14:
[tex]\[ \frac{x}{2} = 14 \][/tex]

14. Six less than eight times a number [tex]\( x \)[/tex] is equal to 14:
