We just need to look very closely at what we're given. So let's break it up:
Twice x -- this means 2x
When we hear "is" this means -- =
42 less than, means -- that we'll be subtracting
5 times x, which we write as -- 5x.
Now if we put all this together, we get the following: 2x=5x-42
If we were asked to solve for x, we'd just subtract 5x from both sides, get -3x=-42, divide both sides by -3, and get x=14.

What is two times less than 100?
Two times less than 100 would be 50. When you say something is "two times less," you are essentially subtracting twice the value from the original amount. In this case, 100 minus 2 times 50 equals 50.
