Hey there!

The difference of a number, w, and 5 will be represented by (w – 5). Twice this would simply multiply this expression by 2, making it 2(w – 5). Finally, just set this expression equal to 2. Your equation is 2(w – 5) = 2. 

To solve this, expand the two to the terms in parentheses. Then, solve the rest of the way as you would normally, using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to cancel out and move around terms. Remember, what you do on one side must be done to the other!

2(w – 5) = 2
(2*w – 2*5) = 2
(2w – 10) + 10 = (2) + 10
(2w) ÷ 2 = (12) ÷ 2
w = 6

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Point C is the center of the circle. What is the measure of angle ACB if arc ADB measures 250 degrees?
NeX [460]

Around the outside of a circle measures 360°. If arc ADB measures 250°, then arc AB measures 360-250 which is 110°. Because point C is the center of the circle, then angle ACB is a central angle. By definition of an arc intercepted by an angle, they are the exact same measure in degrees. So if arc AB = 110, then the measure of the angle ACB also measures 110.

Twice the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 2
REY [17]

Answer:  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call the number "x."

"Twice the difference of a number and 3" means 2(x-3)

is equal to 2:  =2

Put them together:

     2(x-3)  =2

 2x - 6 = 2

 2x = 8

   x = 4

Check:

2(x-3)

Twice the difference of a number and 3 is equal to 2

2(4 - 3) = 2   ?

<h2>2(1) = 2         <u>  Yes</u></h2>
