Question

Which expression means “Twice the difference of w and the square of 6”

Answer 1

`2(w-6^2)`

Explanation:

We are doubling the difference, so we first need to find the difference. Our two numbers are
`w` and
`6^2` (you can also write 36 but that is how the problem states it). Therefore, the equation for that is
`w-6^2`. Then, if we double it, we get
`2(w-6^2)`.
