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

Find the distance bewteen points H(8,4) and k(7,6) to the nearest hundreath

OleMash [197]

Answer:

2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the points on the graph, you can see that the distance between them is also the hypotenuse of a right triangle, meaning you can calculate the distance using the pythagorean theorem.

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\1^2+2^2=c^2\\1+4=c^2\\c=\sqrt{5}\\c\approx2.2361$
