Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5=2x-6

x-5+6=2x-6+6

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

fewer or less than means minus -

difference of x and 5 = x - 5

6 fewer = - 6

twice the number of x = 2x

x - 5 = 2x - 6

x = 2x - 6 + 5

x -2x = - 6 + 5

- x = - 1

x = 1

checking

1 - 5 = 2(1) - 6

4 = 2 - 6

4 = 4
