Respuesta :

Answer:

2(x-7) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's look at the first part -- "Twice the difference of a number and 7".  The difference between a number (x) and 7 means x-7.  It also says twice the difference, so we are going to multiply x-7 by 2.  So that ends us with 2(x-7)

The last part -- "equals 2" means we will set what we currently have to 2.  2(x-7) = 2

Answer:

2(x-7)=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of a number and 7 is x-7 (difference means subtract)

Now the question says twice so that is what we do 2(x-7) now equal that to two 2(x-7)=2
