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.
2(8 + 5) = 2(13) = 26
12-8 = 4 and 2*4 = 8
-18
-6
-6 - (-8) = 2
2 - (-9) - 8 = 3
The answer is -8
-3 - (-8) - (-2) = -3 + 8 +2 = +7
