Answer:

  2(x -2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number, then the difference of the number and 2 is ...

  x -2

Twice the difference is ...

  2(x -2)

"equals 5" means that product is equal to 5. The appropriate equation is ...

  2(x -2) = 5

_____

In case you want a solution ...

Dividing by 2, we get ...
