2 * (w - 5) = 6

What you do is read the sentence and make an equation. So let's do that.

"Twice the difference of a number and 5 is equal to 6"

There's several parts. "Twice the difference" indicates that you're multiplying by 2, and "difference of a number and 5" would indicate subtraction. And finally, "is equal to 6" would indicate an equality. So let's make the equation.

"Twice the difference"
2 * ?

"difference of a number and 5"
2 * (w - 5)

""is equal to 6"
2 * (w - 5) = 6

So your desired equation is
2 * (w - 5) = 6

Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field that has a length of 40 yards and a width of 30 yards. How far did Tanya run?
Yuliya22 [10]

Tanya run 50 yards across the diagonal of the rectangular field.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

  • Length of the rectangular field = 40 yards
  • width of the rectangular field = 30 yards

Step 2 :

Measure of the diagonal = √(length^2 + width^2 )

Step 3 :

Diagonal = √(40^2 + 30^2 )

               = √(1600 + 900)

               = √2500

               = ±50

Step 4 :

Since distance cannot be negative, The measure of diagonal = 50 yards.

∴ Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field is 50 yards.
