The difference between five times a number and twice that number can be expressed mathematically. If we let the number be represented by ( x ), then five times the number is ( 5x ) and twice that number is ( 2x ). The difference is calculated as ( 5x - 2x ), which simplifies to ( 3x ). Thus, the difference is three times the original number.

It's an example of converting something easy into something nearly impossible, and then expressing it obscurely. Behind the veil lies an almost trivial algebra exercise. Although the question doesn't ask for the solution to the exercise, here it is anyway, at no extra cost: -- The difference between (eight times a number) and (twice the number) is (six times the number). -- (Six times the number) is eighteen. -- (the number) is one-sixth of eighteen, or three.
7*(2*x - 16), or maybe 7*| 2*x - 16 |. It depends on if you want to keep the 'difference' to be a positive number.
Twice the difference of a number and ten can be expressed as ( 2(x - 10) ), where ( x ) represents the number. This means you first find the difference between the number and ten, and then multiply that result by two. For example, if the number is 15, the expression would evaluate to ( 2(15 - 10) = 2 \times 5 = 10 ).
If you mean the difference between -11 and 2*(-11), then it's 11.

It is 3*n - 5
Twice the number is something like 3x2, 4x2.... Squared is 3x3, 4x4. It's one number multiplied by itself twice
