let x = a number

difference means that its subtraction

twice a number is 2x

so the equation should be

2x-5=3

add 5 to both sides

2x=8

divide both sides by 2

x=4

I need help with this problem 2(w+7)+6(3w−1)
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

2(w + 7) + 6(3w - 1) = (2)(w) + (2)(7) + (6)(3w) + (6)(-1)

= 2w + 14 + 18w - 6

<em>combine like terms</em>

= (2w + 18w) + (14 - 6) = 20w + 8

<h3>Answer: 2(w + 7) + 6(3w - 1) = 20w + 8</h3>
