We can think of the number of Malik’s height as a variable. I’ll use h.

“16 less than Malik’s height”
Less than is a subtraction phrase. So you know that you will be using subtraction in this equation.

Malik’s hight is h. 16 - h.

And we know that it equals 43. Therefore, 16 - h = 43.

Hope this helps
