We will start translating the phrase "the difference of a number and 2", using y as the unknown number:
[tex]y-2[/tex]Next, using that expression, we translate the phrase "twice the difference of a number and 2", in this step, we multiply the whole previous expression by 2:
[tex]2(y-2)[/tex]To continue we consider the phrase "is at least -29", this means that the previous expression 2(y-2) has to be at least -29 or it can be greater than -29. This is represented in the following expression:
[tex]2(y-2)\ge-29[/tex]Where the symbol ≥ means greater or equal to.
Answer:
[tex]2(y-2)\ge-29[/tex]
