If Jamond has three more books than the sum of Mason and Adam, how many books does he have?
Let's starting by calling them by variables, each being the first letter of their names:
Jamond have J books, Mason have M books and Adam have A books.
We don't know how many they are, but we can have an equation based only on the variables.
The sum of Mason and Adam is given by:
M + A
If Jamond have three more books than that sum, this means that:
J = M + A + 3
This is the amount of books Jamond haves.

If Nancy answered five more word problems than the quotient of Samantha and Trisha's answers, then how many word problems did Nancy answer?
Calling Nancy amount of answeres as N, Samantha as S and Trisha as T, we have that:
The quotient of Samantha and Trisha's answers is given by:
S/T
Nancy solved five more questions that this quotient, thus:
N = S/T + 5

Jolie was trying to learn a new word every day. She started keeping track of how many words she had learned. If she learned 6 more new words than four to the 6th power, then how many new words did Jolie learn?
First, Jolie amount of new words learned is J.
Four to the 6th power is:
We can either calculate the value (4096) or keep it as a power.
If she learned 6 more new words than this, then:

Ricky and Sam were practicing their writing in school. If Ricky's practice contained six fewer letters than the product of Sam's answers and 10, how many letter did Ricky write?
Calling Ricky as R and Sam as S, we have:
The product of Sam's answers and 10 is: 10S
If Ricky's practice contained 6 fewer letters than this product, then:
R = 10S - 6.
