Answer 1

Answer: 5-2x=6-x, x= -1/3

Explanation:

“When I double it and subtract it from five it is the same as subtracting it from six”

So double means multiply by two, and the same as means equal. Use a variable to represent the number.

Therefore your equation is:
5-2x=6-x

So solving the equation would be:
-2x-x = 6-5
-3x = 1
x= -1/3
