2x - 7 = 29
Since it says 'seven less than', it means that it is subtracting but the 7 is after what comes next in the sentence. 'Two times a number' would symbolize a 2 and a number for x: 2x. 'Is 29' would mean 'equal 29', so it's written like: = 29. Therefore, the equation that will represent it will be: 2x - 7 = 29.
