"Five Times the Difference" implies multiplying five by an operation of subtraction so you would represent it by using parentheses: 5(number - number).
"Twice a number" means you are multiplying an unknown number, X, by 2. So you represent this as 2x. The equation now looks like: 5(2x - 14)
"Is negative ten" basically means "Is Equal to -10." The final equation should look like: 5(2x - 14) = -10
Solve using distribution and combining like terms.
