the sum of 23 and victor age is 59

Let's Victor's age be a.

The sum of 23 and Victor's age (a) mean we add a to 23:
23 + a

The word is means an equation, so we set 23 + a equal to 59:
23 + a = 59 <-- This is our algebraic expression

Now if the problem asks you to take it a step further and solve this for a, we type this equation into our search engine and we get:
a = 36
