sum - means addition less - means subtraction twice - means multiply by 2
The question cannot be answered because it is ambiguous. Does "twice the sum of 16 and a number" mean "2*16 + x" or does it mean "2*(16 + x)"
Call your number some variable, for example, "n". Twice the number would be 2n, adding four to that you get 2n + 4, and six times all that is 6(2n + 4), which is the same as 12n + 24.
This is an algebraic expression. It can be written as 3(2x + 4)

If the number is n, then twice the number is 2n and the sum of the two is n + 2n = 3n.
twice a number can be 2x and six less than it is 2x-6.
4*(2x + 8) = 32
