To translate the phrase "Twice the difference of a number and eight" into an algebraic expression, you need to break it down into its constituent parts and use mathematical symbols and operations.
Let's break down the phrase:
1. "A number": Let's represent the unknown number by using a variable, let's say "x".
2. "The difference of a number and eight": The difference of a number and eight means subtracting eight from the number. So, we can write this as "x - 8".
3. "Twice the difference": Multiplying the difference by two gives the expression "2(x - 8)".
Now, to label this algebraic expression, you can simply use a letter or variable to identify it. For example, let's use "A" to represent the expression "Twice the difference of a number and eight". So, we can write:
A = 2(x - 8)
Now, whenever you refer to "Twice the difference of a number and eight," you can use the label "A."
