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

The temperature is -3°C. As the day progresses, the temperature increases by 8°C, then drops by 6°C. Find the final temperature.

We know that the initial temperature is -3 then it rises to 8 and drops by 6 degrees then you just need to subtract six from 8 $\displaystyle\ 8-6=2^\circ \\\\Answer: the\ secondary\ temperature \ will \ be equal \ to \ 2^\circ$
