It is possible to define a number of different metrics (measures of distance) on a space and the formula will depend on the metric.
A simple pair of metrics to illustrate: imagine a town with a road layout like downtown Manhattan. Streets and Avenues at right angles to one another. The distance from one corner to another is a number of avenues across plus a number of streets up (or down). This is known as the taxicab or Minkowski metric. An alternative measure is a "as-the-crow-flies" distance. Both measures are perfectly valid but will give rise to different formulae. There are other metric, too.

How you can solve these applications of algebra?
Use equation.
How do you do an algebra equation with two variables?
The answer depends on what exactly you mean by doing an equation!
How can you use inverse operations to solve an equation without algebra titles?

Does everyone use algebra?
YES!! You use algebra in your everyday lives. Adding is considered an equation. An equation is a problem with an equal sign. An expression has no answer (an equal sign).
How are distance time and speed related?
Speed=distance/time. Speed is in meters per second if distance is in meters, and time is in seconds. Using simple algebra, the equation can be rearranged to solve for a missing variable (speed, distance, or time). therefore: distance=speed x time time= distance/speed

What is the discriminant of an algebra equation?
I am assuming that "an algebra equation" refers to a quadratic equation and not a higher polynomial.For a quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b and c are real numbers and a is non-zero, the discriminant is b^2 – 4ac.
