To express "twice the difference of a number and five" mathematically, we can start by defining the number as \( x \).
The difference of the number and five can be represented as \( x - 5 \).
Then, twice this difference would be:
\[
2(x - 5)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x - 10
\]
So, "twice the difference of a number and five" can be expressed as \( 2x - 10 \).
