Set #8 - Equations

Corresponding to the chart above, each letter is represented by a number that is the sum of the gray numbers on each side. For example, 2 is E (1+1), and 5 could be U (4+1) or C (3+2).

Each clue below includes two connected words that are added together to make a longer word or phrase, and one subtraction word that, upon removing all of its letters from the longer word/phrase, reveals the answer.

Example: 98811 + 9277 - 11892 = DOLL (numbers convert to DOOR + BELL - ROBE, DOORBELL with the letters R, O, B, and E erased from it gives DOLL)
