Answer 1

We will write an equation exactly as stated in the statement:  So, twice x=2(x);  6 subtracted=-6;  twenty is equal is 20=;  Let's create an equation=  2x-6=20.

Answer 2

Hi Josh,

 

Let's translate the English into math. . .

 

"twenty is equal to" --> 20 =

 

"6 subtracted from" --> - 6

 

"twice X" --> 2X

 

Now put it all together --> 20 = 2X - 6
