To translate the phrase "66 decreased by twice Gail's score" into an algebraic expression, we first need to define a variable to represent Gail's score. Let's use the variable "G" for that.
Twice Gail's score would be written as 2G. (Since G represents Gail's score, multiplying it by 2 gives us twice her score.)
To decrease 66 by twice Gail's score, we subtract 2G from 66. Therefore, the algebraic expression representing the phrase is:
66 - 2G
