Answer 1

2(W - 5) ≤ -29

Explanation:

"Twice the difference of a number and 5 is at most -29" can be expressed symbolically as follows:

2(W - 5) ≤ -29

Further explanations:

"the difference of a number and 5" is W - 5, and thus "Twice the difference of a number and 5" is 2(W - 5).

"x ≤ -29" states "x is at most -29."
