Finding the double of -25

To find the double of -25, you start by taking the given number represented by -25. Doubling means you want to find a number twice as big, so the natural operation to perform is multiplication by 2. This is why the calculation involves multiplying -25 by 2. The expression (-25 * 2) captures this operation mathematically. When you multiply -25 by 2, the product you get, denoted as -50, is exactly double the original number. For example, if -25 were 7, then -50 would be (7 * 2), which is 14. This logic applies universally to any real number represented by -25, making -50 the doubled value of -25.
