means (×), the quotient means (÷) , one half means 1/2 , triple

means (×3) and so one

- So we can change any word expression to a mathematical

expression

* Lets solve the problem

- The sentence is ⇒Twice the difference of X and 2 is -22

- This sentence represents an equation

∵ Twice means Multiply by two

∵ Difference means subtract

∵ is means equal

- Lets explain the parts of the sentence

Twice the difference

- That means we will make the difference at first and then

multiply the result by 2

Twice the difference of X and 2 means we will subtract 2 from x

and then multiply this difference by 2

Twice the difference of X and 2 represented by 2(x - 2)

Twice the difference of X and 2, is -22 means when we

subtract 2 from x and multiply the result by 2 the answer

will be -22

Twice the difference of X and 2 = -22

∴ 2(x - 2) = -22

* The mathematical symbols of Twice the difference of X and 2,
