2(x-2) + 8
or
2(2-x) + 8
Simplified: 2x +4 for the above
12-2x for below
"eight more" + 8
"twice the difference" 2 * the subtraction of the next two numbers
" The difference between a number and two" part isn't very clear. So could be either (2-x) or (x-2). Usually number from two or vice versa would be used.
