It is 5n - 8 <= 2n + 10
three times a number decreased by eleven
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".

60 - 2n
twice the difference of three times a number and eight
three times a number decreased by eleven
2n - 8 < 5n + 10 -3n < 18 n < -6
If you have a number x, then twice that number is 2*x and so the expression means 42 - 2*x
Either 2*(n-4) = 2n - 8 or 2n - 4 It depends on whether the "twice" operates on "the number decreased by 4" or "the number".
60 - 2n
24

the number is negative two.

Twenty more than twice a number is 52
The verbal expression that represents the algebraic expression 2x-8 is "twice a number decreased by 8." In this expression, "2x" represents twice the value of a variable "x," and "-8" indicates that 8 is being subtracted from that value. Therefore, "twice a number decreased by 8" accurately describes the algebraic expression 2x-8.
