Let's say we each have two apples.
If I give you one apple, you have three and I have one. So the difference is 2 apples.

If I give you two apples, you have four and I have none, the difference is 4.

We conclude therefore that for every apple I give you, the difference increases by <i>twice</i> what I gave you.
