To find 2 less than twice a number, you would first multiply the number by 2 and then subtract 2 from the result. In mathematical terms, this can be represented as 2x - 2, where x is the number in question. For example, if the number is 5, then 2 less than twice the number would be 2(5) - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8.

Well, honey, if you want to get technical, 2 less than twice a number is just the number itself minus 2. So, if your number is x, the expression would be 2x - 2. But hey, who am I to rain on your math parade?
Oh, dude, so like, if you have a number, let's call it "x," twice that number would be 2x. Now, if you take 2 away from that, you get 2x - 2. So, 2 less than twice a number is 2x - 2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Given a number N, you would have: 2*N - 5
2x^2 - 1
To say that 2 is less than twice a number and four means, algebraically, that 2 < 2x + 4. This simplifies to -2 < 2x or x > -1. This is not a quotient, however, so perhaps your question was not clearly worded.
The answer is 9.You solve it as:2x-9=x2x-x=9x=9
idk what the ?f** that is?! hahaha. but eyyy i no what it may be? learn nigguhs (:
