For this case we must algebraically rewrite the given expression. So:

x: It is the variable that represents an unknown number

"double a number" is represented as: [tex]2x[/tex]

"6 less than double a number" is represented as: [tex]2x-6[/tex]

So, the final expression is: [tex]2x-6[/tex]

If we want to rewrite the expression in an equivalent way, we take common factor 2:

[tex]2 (x-3)[/tex]

Asnwer:

[tex]2x-6[/tex]

Equivalent expression: [tex]2 (x-3)[/tex]
