Answer explanation

"3 less" means to subtract 3 and "twice" means to multiply by 2. Thus, 2w-3 represents the length.

Answer explanation

If those two sides must be parallel, then we can use the Same Side Interior Angles Theorem to prove the angles are supplementary (add to 180). Thus, the equation we need to solve is 70+x=180.
