We are given the expression 19a-3b=16c and told to write a verbal expression. This verbal expression should describe what is happening in the mathematical expression. Since we are multiplying 19 and a, we can describe this part by "19 times a". Then we are subtracting 3b, so we can say "19 times a minus 3 times b". Finally, we should describe that this expression is equal to 16 multiplied by c. This is achieved with the expression

"19 times a minus 3 times b equals 16 times c"
