Finding the double of -30

To find the double of -30, you start by taking the given number represented by -30. 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 -30 by 2. The expression (-30 * 2) captures this operation mathematically. When you multiply -30 by 2, the product you get, denoted as -60, is exactly double the original number. For example, if -30 were 7, then -60 would be (7 * 2), which is 14. This logic applies universally to any real number represented by -30, making -60 the doubled value of -30.
