Given the statement:

You download 12 new songs to your MP3 player. Then you delete 5 old songs. 

Write each amount as an integer.

Solution:

Since the you've downloaded 12 songs, we first add 12 to the total number of songs, we can represent the total number of songs as x.

Total number of songs added by the new song = x + 12

Total number of songs subtracted by the old songs:
= x + 12 - 5 
= x + 7

Final answer:

Total number of songs added by the new song = x + 12

Total number of songs subtracted by the old songs = = x + 7
