2 more than twice a number is 100

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 100" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 2, you get 100.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 100

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 2 = 100

2x + 2 - 2 = 100 - 2
2x = 98

2x/2 = 98/2
x = 49

Answer = 49

The answer above is correct, because twice 49 is 98, and 2 more than 98 is in fact 100.
