Answer: 2(x-2)=6

Step-by-step explanation: when they say twice, so you make is times 2, then it said the difference of a number which would be a variable, or x, and 2, is 6, so one part is =6, next is the variable -2, so you can use x-2, then in order to multiply everything, you need to make parenthesis. So, it would be x-2=6, but you forgot the parathesis, so 2(x-2)=6
