Twice a number increased by 5= 2x+5
5 decreased by twice a number= 5-2x
twice the difference of a number and 5= 2(x-5)
Twice the sum of a number and 5= 2(x+5)
Five subtracted from twice a number= 2x-5
Twice a number, less 5= 2x-5
We are given a line segment with two points on each end. Rebecca draws two arcs with equal radius from each point. Now, the intersection of the two arcs is the midpoint of the line. This can be explained by the radius of the arcs. Since they are equal, meaning they have the same distance from each point. Thus, the midpoint of the line.
5 is the y intercept.
-Always the number without the variable.
