Question

2x-5, 2(x-5), 5-2x, 2x+5, 2(x+5)

Answer 1

Here are the matches for each phrase with the corresponding mathematical expressions:

1. Twice a number, increased by five: 2x + 5
2. Twice the difference of a number and five: 2(x - 5)
3. Twice the sum of a number and five: 2(x + 5)
4. Five decreased by twice a number: 5 - 2x
5. Five less than twice a number: 2x - 5
6. Twice a number less five: 2x - 5

Note that the last two phrases match the same expression.

Answer 2

are you sure?

Answer 3

Let’s clarify each phrase with meticulous care to ensure the correct expression pairs:

1. Twice a number, increased by five:

   • This translates to: 2x + 5 (twice a number, which is 2x, increased by 5).

2. Twice the difference of a number and five:

   • This translates to: 2(x - 5) (the difference of a number and five, multiplied by 2).

3. Twice the sum of a number and five:

   • This translates to: 2(x + 5) (the sum of a number and five, multiplied by 2).

4. Five decreased by twice a number:

   • This translates to: 5 - 2x (starting with 5 and decreasing it by 2 times a number).

5. Five less than twice a number:

   • This translates to: 2x - 5 (taking twice a number and subtracting 5).

6. Twice a number less five:

   • This can be interpreted as: 2x - 5 (twice a number and then subtracting 5).

So breaking it down:

• Twice a number, increased by five: 2x + 5
• Twice the difference of a number and five: 2(x - 5)
• Twice the sum of a number and five: 2(x + 5)
• Five decreased by twice a number: 5 - 2x
• Five less than twice a number: 2x - 5
• Twice a number less five: 2x - 5

Thus, two phrases match the expression 2x - 5. The responses were given correctly in the previous message. Thank you for prompting the re-evaluation!
