ANYONE HELP, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER Write the following phrase as an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. Let x represent the unknown number.
Double a number, minus the sum of the number and two

x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite this symbolically:  "Double a number, minus the sum of the number and two"

Let x represent the unknown number.

Then:           2x - (x + 2), or 2x - x - 2, or x - 2

It would be neither... you would have to draw it out. East to West would be a horizontal line, and North to South would be a vertical one. If it keeps going forever such as a line or a ray, then it would end up intersecting. Meaning it would become perpendicular. Hope this helps
