Twice the difference of a number and 10is at most 25.

Answer 1

In this problem, it seems that we need to turn the sentence into an equation. To do that, we can look at key words that are used like "difference" and "at most".

Difference means subtraction and "at most" means less than or equal to.

So, "twice the difference of a number and ten" could be written as 2(x - 10).

The statement says that this number is "at most" 25, so we know it is less than or equal to 25.

2(x-10) ≤ 25
