Explanation:</h2><h2 />
When we say "a is at most b" we mean that "a is less than or equal to b" or "a is not greater than b". So let's solve this problem as follows:
Step 1. Twice the difference of a number and 2
Let's call that unknown number as n. Then, twice the difference of a number and 2 is:

Step 2. Twice the difference of a number and 2 is at most -27

_________________________________________
So the mathematical form of the statement <em>twice the difference of a number and 2 is at most -27 </em>is:

We are given the expression of the equation of a circle that is x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0. Using ocmpleting the squares:
x2 + y2 + 14x + 2y + 14 = 0(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = -14 + 49 + 1(x+7)^2 + (y+1) ^2 = 36 center thus is at (-7,-1) and the radius is equal ot square root of 36 equal to 6.
This question's answer is 22.62
