Translating Operational Rules in Inventory Management

A maintenance supervisor uses the rule 'seven less than four times the number of machines ($q$)' to determine how many repair kits to keep in stock. When this rule is written as the algebraic expression $4q - 7$, which number specifically represents the amount being subtracted?

A budget analyst uses the rule 'seven less than four times the quarterly revenue ($r$)' to calculate a department's discretionary fund. When translating this rule into the algebraic expression $4r - 7$, which specific phrase acts as the signal to place the 7 after the subtraction sign?
