Answer:

-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x. Double the sum of x and seven is 2(x + 7) and two less than x is x - 2. Since these are equal we can write:

2(x + 7) = x - 2

2x + 14 = x - 2

x = -16

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$11.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the distance formula to solve this problem.

This distance formula states that the distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is equal to $\sqrt{(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta y)^2}=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ .
